Supply budgets that are checked before money is spent

Vendoro budgets each location by category, in dollars per week or month or per patient day from census. Every requisition shows its effect on the budget before it’s sent, over-budget orders can need an extra approval, and a weekday morning email lists budgets at 90% or more.
