The purchasing decision
Put the released drawing, approved deviations and inspection requirements on the order. Ask how supplier process or material changes will be reported. Record receiving exceptions and return them to the next purchase decision.
Keep these records
- Approved reference sample ID.
- Change-notification requirement.
- Receiving inspection and lot history.
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.
