The problem
What gets in the way
A shortage needs an owner and a next action before it becomes a supplier order.
Practical answer
What you can do
Record the missing SKU, location, quantity, required date and intended next step.
- See requested, ordered, received and outstanding quantities
- Group compatible requests into one supplier order
- Cancel a remainder without losing completed history

Frequently asked questions
Does Kaijuu always suggest how much to order?
No. If the stock information needed for the calculation is missing, your team chooses the quantity.
Does the making list manage production?
No. It records what you plan to make but does not manage batches or work stages.
