Inventory Shortage and Supplier Exceptions
Starts when: Projected stock falls below the safety level or a supplier reports a delay
Free plan · Outcome verification included · You approve every connection
How it runs
Six stages, from the moment it starts to the checks that keep running afterwards.
It starts
Projected stock falls below the safety level or a supplier reports a delay
Awish plans it and asks for each app
The apps it needs are connected one at a time, with your permission, before anything runs.
It does the work
Exactly as the request below describes, across the connected apps.
It stops where a person should decide
Do not switch supplier or material when quality or regulatory approval is required.
It verifies the outcome
After each run, Awish checks that the request, purchase order or supplier record is complete and approved.
It keeps monitoring
Failures, silent failures and connection health are watched on every plan; anomalies, root cause and recommendations on Business.
The request it runs
This is what opens in chat when you use the template. Change any part of it before anything connects.
“I want an automation that handles inventory shortages and the supplier exception response. Trigger it when projected stock falls below the safety level or a supplier delay is reported. It should identify the affected SKUs and orders, calculate the impact horizon, find the approved alternative suppliers or items, request the substitution or expedite approval, notify sales and operations and log the mitigation. Connect it with NetSuite, Coupa, Slack and Gmail. Do not switch supplier or material when quality or regulatory approval is required.”

Questions about this template
Can I change where it stops for approval?
Yes. Open the template in chat and say where you want it to stop. The plan updates before anything connects.
What if one of these apps is not connected yet?
Awish asks you to connect each app it needs, one at a time, before the workflow runs. You can decline any of them.
How does Awish know this workflow worked?
After each run it checks that the request, purchase order or supplier record is complete and approved, in the app where that should happen. If a run reports success but the result is missing, it flags a silent failure.
Run it on your own apps
It opens in chat with the request written. See the plan, approve each connection, and Awish verifies the outcome from the first run.
