PURCHASING GUIDE

How mixed orders handle shortages

Use the steps below to organize your request and make open questions easier to review.

The short answer

Keep references, vehicle details and quantities together. Make unknown details visible rather than guessing before a quotation.

1. Review the list line by line.

Ask which quantities are available, uncertain or unavailable under the proposed terms.

2. Choose what happens to missing items.

Discuss removal, an agreed alternative or a later shipment. Confirm the choice for each affected line.

3. Check the effect on the order.

Ask how the change affects price, minimum quantities, timing, packing and freight. Request an updated quotation if needed.
