A shared cart allows multiple people to prepare a purchase, but requires control over changes and closing. Without this, a user may complete an order that is different from what others have reviewed.
How to evaluate this decision
Define who edits, reviews and sends. Choose how to handle concurrent changes and repeated items. The cart must indicate relevant update and authorship, maintaining separation of personal orders or orders from other units. When complete, preserve the submitted version and prevent new edits from retroactively modifying the order.
Criteria for comparing proposals
- Collaboration: show changes and resolve competition without losing quantities.
- Permission: limit editing and closing by role and company.
- Conclusion: freeze sent content and open a new draft when necessary.
A scenario to discuss with the supplier
Hypothetical example: two areas add the same item at the same time. The rule needs to define whether quantities will be added together or whether there will be a separate line per destination.
What to validate upon delivery
Test concurrent edits, user removal, and closure during update. Compare the final order with the version confirmed in the interface.
Prepare the conversation about the project
Quantum9 can design the collaborative cart and integrate the order into the ERP. Bring roles, units and consolidation rules to avoid ambiguities in joint purchasing.
