Reorder exception review

Reviews reorder recommendations from your planning system, flags the ones that break MOQ, lead time, budget or capacity limits, and asks the planner to approve each exception.

The operation

Review planning-system reorder recommendations and show buyers only the exceptions caused by MOQ, supplier lead time, budget, capacity, or demand spikes.
Built it in 4 steps. The planner approves or changes each exception in Teams, and Malleable handles the rest.
