Reviewing an Order Confirmation
An order confirmation should be compared with the accepted quotation and any later agreed changes before the buyer relies on it.
Practical Considerations
Review product references, variants, quantities, charges and proposed dates together. Small changes can be missed when staff check only the total amount.
Suggested Procedure
- Match each product line.
- Compare quantities and included charges.
- Record differences and obtain clarification.
Illustrative Example
If a case count changes while the total number of units remains the same, confirm the new pack arrangement. It may affect receiving, storage and retail handling.
Points to Check
Keep the final agreed version accessible to receiving staff. Earlier drafts should remain labeled as superseded reference material.
