Roughly what do you spend a year on purchased materials and parts?
A ballpark is fine. Nothing here is stored until you book.
Most price increases don’t arrive as a letter.
They arrive as a slightly different number on an invoice nobody compares to the quote.
A part you buy every month goes up 2%. Then 2% again in the spring, once more with a surcharge in the summer, and again at the new year. Not one of those is big enough to argue about, and every one of them is invoiced correctly, so nothing in your process is built to catch it. A year later you’re paying eight or nine percent more and nobody in the building decided that.
That is not a billing error, which is why your accountant, your ERP, and your approval workflow all wave it through. It is the price moving quietly. Finding it takes reading every line of every invoice against what the part cost last month, which is exactly the kind of work worth handing to a machine.
