How do I know what to reorder in Xero?
Last updated
Lancaster Agentic for Xero tells you what to reorder and how much from your Xero sales and stock on hand, with a reorder workbook for every item, and builds the purchase order when you ask. Book a setup call and we set it up with you.
What does Lancaster Agentic do for Xero users?
Lancaster Agentic turns your Xero sales and stock on hand into a reorder plan. It forecasts each tracked item from your sales history, compares that with the quantity on hand, and lists what to order and how much. The assistant shows the most urgent items in the chat, and the workbook covers every item and shows how each number was worked out.
How do I get started with Xero?
Book a setup call. We set Lancaster Agentic up for your Xero account with you on the call; there is nothing to install first.
How do purchase orders work with Xero?
When you tell the assistant to create a purchase order, Lancaster Agentic builds it with the items and quantities. It appears in the chat and on the purchase order sheet of your workbook. You enter the order under Purchases, then Purchase orders, or an assistant that can use your browser saves it there as a draft for you. Lancaster Agentic never sends purchase orders to suppliers.
