Common issues and next actions
| If this happens | What to do next |
|---|---|
| A product needs a supplier assigned. | Use Assign Suppliers or open the product/supplier workflow before trying to add that product to a purchase order. |
| The suggested quantity looks wrong. | Check the product row, current stock, related purchase orders, and physical stock context. Contact us if the dashboard value conflicts with what your team expects. |
| You cannot find the product. | Clear filters and search terms, then search again by product name, SKU, or identifier. |
