How to keep a round bar substitution enquiry separate from technical approval
Record the drawing grade and the proposed alternative separately, with an enquiry status and a technical approval status for the alternative. Check supply with the sales team and suitability through the buyer’s designated technical approval process.
Keep both grade designations and their references
Record the drawing revision, the full original and proposed designations, and the reason for the proposal. Ask the person responsible for technical approval to identify what must be compared, such as the applicable standard, delivery condition, performance requirements and supporting documents. Use the criteria specified for the project.
Track supply enquiries and technical decisions separately
Use the enquiry field to record that an enquiry was sent for the alternative, is awaiting a reply or has specific supplier-confirmed conditions. In the technical field, record that approval is pending or retain the issued decision and revision under the project process. When a quote arrives for an alternative, keep the confirmed material requirement and its reference on the purchase order line.
View the catalogue and send an alternative for a supply check
Use the website enquiry form to provide both exact designations, dimensions, quantity and the points you want checked. Changzhou Yuzhenxuan Trading Co., Ltd. can discuss material information and supply terms for the request. https://yzxmetals.com/categories/alloy-round-steel/en/
