Everything whose free stock is under its reorder point. Anything with a bill of material gets a production order; everything else gets a purchase order, grouped by supplier. Tick a set and raise them all at once.

Nothing that Chiptech builds is below its reorder point.

Grouped by supplier, so one purchase order goes to each rather than one per line. The lead time
is the number that matters.
