The purchasing decision
Provide the released BOM, accepted alternatives and kit labels. Ask for a sample, packaging scope and batch identification. Keep quoted availability and lead times dated so later orders do not assume an old promise still applies.
Keep these records
- Controlled BOM and alternatives.
- Sample and packaging requirements.
- Dated quantity and delivery request.
Give each record an owner and a revision or date. If a supplier proposes a different part or test condition, record it as an exception for review before treating the quotation as equivalent.
Turn the review into a sourcing request
Start with the linked component checklist, add the actual platform and part identity, and state quantity, destination and timing. List unresolved requirements explicitly so the first discussion can focus on those gaps.
