Fast Keyed Order-Entry Desk

The problem this kills

Your order clerks are fast typists trapped in slow software. To key a single order they tab between three screens: one to look up the customer's terms, one to find the SKU and today's price, and one to check whether the item is even in stock. Half the day is spent hunting, not entering. And when they finally do enter it, nothing stops them from breaking a minimum-order-quantity rule, quoting the wrong price tier, or committing a line that's out of stock - so the errors get caught downstream, after the customer's already been told "yes."

This plan kills the tab-dance. One screen, keyboard-first, with the customer's terms, the live price, and a stock badge all sitting right next to the line your clerk is typing.

What you'll build

A focused internal order desk:

• Pick the customer first - and instantly see their price list, terms, and credit notes.
• Fast line entry - start typing a SKU or product name and autocomplete fills it in. The unit price for this customer's price tier appears immediately, and a colored stock badge (in stock / low / out) shows next to each line.
• Rules that enforce themselves - the tool warns when a line is below the SKU's minimum order quantity, when the price doesn't match the customer's price list, or when a line is out of stock - before the order can move forward.
• A human approval gate - the clerk submits a draft; a reviewer confirms the totals, terms, and any stock warnings, then clicks Approve. Only then does the order commit.
• A clean handoff - approved orders write to your database and produce an ERP-ready CSV in exactly the columns your system expects.

What's inside the Implementation Plan

• It starts by interviewing you about your business. Before writing a single line of code, the plan has the AI agent ask you about your current order process, the systems and spreadsheets you use, your real field names and SKU conventions, your price-list and minimum-order rules, your volumes, and your messy edge cases - then it reflects a short tailored spec back to you for a thumbs-up. You get a tool shaped to your desk, not a generic template.
• A step-by-step build, where every step ends with a ready-to-paste prompt for your AI coding agent.
• The full data model for customers, SKUs/prices, stock, and orders - adapted to your answers.
• The keyboard-first entry screen with autocomplete, live pricing, and stock badges.
• The validation layer for minimum quantities, price-list rules, and out-of-stock warnings.
• The reviewer approval workflow and the ERP CSV export.
• A "No API yet?" fallback so you can build the whole thing today from Sheets/CSV - no ERP integration required.

The governance it includes (this is the point)

This isn't a toy. The governance is the product:

• Login so only your team can open the desk.
• Row-level security so each person only ever sees their own organization's customers, SKUs, and orders.
• A complete audit trail - who keyed it, who approved it, what changed, and when.
• A hard human-in-the-loop approval gate - the clerk drafts, a reviewer reviews and approves, and only then does the order commit to your records and ERP export. The AI never auto-commits an order.
• Duplicate guards - the same customer + customer PO number can't be processed twice, so you don't double-ship.

Who it's for

Order-entry clerks and inside-sales reps who key many orders a day by hand, and the supervisors who review them. If your team lives in a screen-switching, copy-paste order process and you want a faster, safer desk - without hiring a developer - this is for you.

You've got this. Paste the first prompt and let the agent interview you.
