# Smart Purchase

Available on **Pro**. On the basic plan you still see the screen as a blurred preview: it predicts what to order from your sales. Pro unlocks building the list and exporting it. You do not need to set min stock. A supplier per product is **optional**: if you assign one, it is saved so later orders can be grouped.

## Where it is

**Inventory → Smart Purchase**. Business admin only.

## How it works

Choose how many **days of cover** you want (7, 14, or 21). Sarah combines:

- Current on-hand stock.
- **Completed** sales (7 / 14 / 28-day velocity). If demand dropped, it suggests less.
- **Receiving** history (typical inbound qty and whether you just received).
- **Projected stock** at the end of the horizon.

Suggested products start checked and **grouped by supplier**. Within each supplier the order is **rising** (highest sales first), then **stable**, then **falling**. Uncheck, edit quantities, pick a supplier per product (saved on the product), and filter the list. If no supplier is saved yet, Sarah shows the last purchase-invoice supplier when it exists.

Create suppliers in [Suppliers](/docs/contacts/providers).

## Export

Open **Preview** with the checked products. You see the list grouped by supplier, then you can:

- **PDF**: download the file.
- **Print**: the print dialog (no extra tab).
- **WhatsApp**: copies the list to the clipboard and opens WhatsApp (long lists do not fit in the URL).

The suggestion is **not saved** as an order: the next visit recalculates with fresh data.
