How stock records become automatic purchases within clinic-approved limits.
CareCart manages the clinic's inventory directly. It connects staff stock updates with replenishment, purchasing controls and delivery records, so the team can follow why an order was created and what happened next.
| Role | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Inventory staff | Keep stock movements and physical counts current. |
| Clinic administrator | Choose purchasing permissions, approved items, suppliers and limits; pause automation. |
| Replenishment service | Monitor recorded stock, compare configured offers and create the purchase order. |
| Purchasing policy | Decide whether the order has permission to proceed automatically or must be held. |
| Payment service and vault | Execute permitted requests, enforce spending controls and preserve payment evidence. |
| Purchasing approver | Resolve held orders where approval is permitted and available. |
AI can help interpret supply needs and propose a next step. Trusted purchasing rules decide whether money may move; model output cannot grant financial permission. The recorded automatic payment used deterministic rules and did not demonstrate a live AI inference run.
Recording usage moved glove stock from 54 to 26. The background workflow created a 30-unit order, automatically authorized it under the approved policy and paid 1.5 CCUSD to the test supplier. Repeating the payment request transferred nothing more.
Stock stayed at 26 after payment. Recording the separate 30-unit sample delivery brought it to 56; replaying that receipt added no stock. This demonstrates the distinction between paying and receiving, using synthetic inventory and a controlled supplier account.
Real supplier prices, order acceptance and fulfillment need a verified supplier connection. Real-money operation also needs the mainnet release gates. CareCart does not make clinical decisions or substitute for staff checking the goods received.
