Route Purchase Orders in Slack

For an ops lead who wants purchase orders moving instead of sitting in a queue. One prompt checks the PO against policy, routes it to the right approver by threshold, and nudges them in Slack, so approvals happen in hours rather than days.

The grind

Purchase orders get stuck waiting

Here's what doing this by hand looks like today, and why it doesn't scale.

The PO gets filed, the approver is in a meeting, and the vendor waits. A simple PO that is well within policy can take three days just because nobody nudged the approver.
Approvers live in a full inbox, so PO requests get buried under everything else.
Anything over the threshold waits on a clarifying question that never actually gets asked.
Vendor relationships take the hit every time approvals drag.

MewCP collapses all of this into one prompt. Here's what that looks like.

The flow

5 steps · 3 servers

Your agent runs it end-to-end

Fetch the PO from Precoro with its vendor, amount, cost center, and line items.

Check it against policy, including the threshold, the vendor allow list, and the budget.

If it is within policy, route it to the designated approver.

If it is over the threshold, draft a short clarifying email to the requestor.

Ping the approver in Slack with the two line PO summary.

The payoff

Approvals in hours, not days

POs under the threshold move the same day. Anything over it gets the clarifying question automatically, so the approver sees a clean decision instead of a question mark.

Paste this into Claude, Codex, or any MCP-connected agent. It'll connect your apps and run the task from start to finish.
