Know when a vendor price moves.
Answer three questions in one filed record: what changed, compared on what basis, and which invoices produced the number?
A movement without a basis is just a number.
History
Every reviewed comparable purchase adds a dated point to the product record.
Comparable basis
Vendor, product, package, and unit context make the comparison legible.
Prioritized movement
Large changes and suspicious decimals rise for review without being labeled savings.
Each point returns to an invoice.
Source references
Catch a decimal before it becomes history.
A proposed $3,975.00 oil price is marked as an exception, checked against the source, and only then corrected to $39.75.
Possible decimal shift · source review required
Focused by design.
Ten invoices are enough to show the method.
Price basis, vendors, and outliers.
Does every price change represent savings?
No. A movement is an observation. Any estimated impact stays labeled estimated, and realized savings requires an operator action and outcome.
Can products be compared across vendors?
Yes when the product and reporting basis are comparable. The page does not imply that unrelated package or unit bases should be compared.
How are decimal shifts handled?
Suspicious values can be flagged or corrected through source-backed review. The source line and resulting basis remain visible.
Does this compare restaurant locations?
No public example makes a group or cross-location financial claim. This page is about a location’s product and vendor history.
