Reads parts consumed on work orders against stockroom levels and proposes reorders and minimum changes before a repair waits.

About

A repair that waits on a part is downtime with a known cause. Spares Reorder reads the parts issued against work orders in your maintenance system, the in-stock, reserved, and minimum quantities in each stockroom, and the open work orders whose parts are not yet on hand.

It projects when each part's stock falls short of planned work and proposes a reorder before that date. Where consumption has moved away from the minimum on file, it proposes a new minimum. A storeroom lead or planner approves each proposal. The purchase requisition is drafted in your maintenance system or ERP for a buyer to send, and every decision leaves a receipt.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Spares Reorder and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Parts issued on work orders and each work order's part stage, such as no parts, reserved, kitted, or issued, from MaintainX
  • Stockroom part records with in-stock, reserved, ordered, minimum, and maximum quantities per location
  • Open and planned work orders, including preventive maintenance schedules, and the parts they call for, from UpKeep or Fiix
  • Purchase orders and their status in your maintenance system or ERP
  • Part transfer requests between stockrooms
  • Vendor and lead-time detail held on the part or vendor record

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose a reorder for a part whose stock will not cover planned work orders before the next receipt
  • Target capability: propose a new minimum quantity for a part whose consumption has moved away from the minimum on file
  • Target capability: propose a purchase requisition or purchase order draft in your maintenance system or ERP for a buyer to send
  • Target capability: propose a transfer from another stockroom that holds the part, when that arrives sooner than a vendor
  • Target capability: propose a hold note on a work order whose part will not arrive in time, so the planner can reschedule

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Reorder before a preventive maintenance job waits

    Planned PMs in MaintainX call for parts. When in-stock less reserved falls short of the PMs in the planned window, a reorder is proposed with the vendor on the part record.

    With MaintainX, NetSuite

  • Reset minimums after consumption changes

    A part issued on Fiix work orders far above its minimum on file gets a proposed new minimum, with the consumption history shown, for the storeroom lead to approve.

    With Fiix, SAP Business One

  • Draft the requisition where the buyer works

    Approved reorders become purchase order drafts in Business Central with vendor, quantity, and requested receipt date, linked back to the work orders that need the part.

    With UpKeep, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Requirements

  • A maintenance system that records parts used on work orders (MaintainX, UpKeep, Fiix, Limble CMMS, or IBM Maximo Manage)
  • Stockroom quantities and minimums per part, in the maintenance system or your ERP
  • Purchase order records for parts, in the maintenance system or an ERP such as NetSuite or Business Central
  • A storeroom lead or planner named to approve reorders and minimum changes
  • For UpKeep, an Enterprise plan; its API is limited to that tier
Authentication
An API key from your maintenance system, generated by an administrator (MaintainX issues a bearer token under Settings, Integrations, API Keys; UpKeep uses session tokens), plus ERP credentials where purchase orders live there.

Limits

  • Parts used but never logged on a work order are not counted. Consumption is only what the maintenance system recorded.
  • A part with no vendor or lead time on record gets a stock warning, not a reorder date.
  • Minimums are proposed per stockroom. It does not pool stock across sites unless a transfer is proposed and approved.
  • No vendor ever receives an order from it. The requisition stays a draft until a buyer sends it.

Questions and answers

Who approves, and what do they see?
A storeroom lead or planner. A reorder shows part, vendor, quantity, and needed-by date. A minimum change shows the old and new value and the consumption behind it. The approver can edit the quantity, pick another vendor, or decline.
What is written down after a decision?
A receipt per proposal: the part, the stock and work-order figures it read, the action approved, who approved it, when, and the requisition or minimum change that followed. Each receipt states how to reverse the change.
Does it ever order parts on its own?
No. It reads work orders, stock, and purchase orders and proposes. A purchase order draft is created only after approval, and a buyer still sends it to the vendor.
