THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Record the changed input, the affected quote lines and the new assumptions. Keep old and new versions identifiable. A price revision should be traceable to a defined change instead of replacing the earlier document without explanation.
The decision behind the detail.
Several small updates can alter the scope substantially. Review specification, quantity, packing and terms together before accepting only the revised total.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Previous version
- Identify the quote being replaced and its date.
- Change request
- Describe what the buyer or supplier changed.
- Affected lines
- List the price, quantity or scope lines requiring review.
Check together
- Check unchanged lines have not moved unintentionally.
- Reconcile revised totals with the current matrix.
- Name the final version in the order record.
