# Review and validate supply orders

Review planned orders, check constraints, adjust quantities, and release orders.

This guide walks you through the process of reviewing supply orders generated by Flowlity, checking supplier constraints, adjusting quantities when needed, and validating orders for release.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Review planned orders in Planning**

Start in the [Planning](/modules/planning.md) module. Open a product's detail view and look at the chart:

* **Planned supply orders** (light bars) — Orders recommended by Flowlity that are not yet validated.
* **Firm supply orders** (dark bars) — Orders already confirmed and committed.

Check that the projected **Stock** line stays within the **Flowlity Min/Max** corridor. If stock dips below Flowlity Min, there may not be enough planned orders. If it goes well above Flowlity Max, you may have excess.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Open Supply Orders**

Navigate to [Supply Orders](/modules/supply-orders.md). Start on the **Planned** tab to see all orders waiting for review.

* **Orders view** — Review orders grouped by supplier and delivery date. Check the order count and total quantity.
* **Order lines view** — Switch to this view for product-level detail across all orders.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check supplier constraints**

Click on an order to open the detail view. The **Order details** side panel shows:

* **Order placement deadline** — When the order must be placed to meet the delivery date, based on lead time.
* **Full truck quantity** — Target quantity for optimizing logistics costs.
* **Supplier MOQ** — Minimum order quantity the supplier accepts.
* **Order frequency** — How often the supplier accepts orders.

Compare the order quantity against these constraints. Flowlity's Planning Agent already accounts for them, but it's good practice to verify.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Adjust quantities if needed**

In the order detail view, each order line has an editable **quantity** field. Adjust quantities when:

* You want to consolidate orders to meet full truck quantity.
* Business knowledge suggests a different quantity than what the AI recommends.
* A customer has communicated a change in requirements.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Validate and release**

Once you are satisfied with the order:

1. Click **Validate** to move the order from Planned to Validated.
2. When ready to send to the supplier or production floor, move it to **Released**.
3. Track delivery in the **Delivered** tab once goods are received.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the **Review** button in Planning to mark products as reviewed before moving to Supply Orders. This helps track which products have been checked in the current planning cycle.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
