On the "Supplier Verification Process in the China Sourcing Process" page, record the approved requirement, comparable supplier or route inputs, supporting documents, exceptions, corrective actions and the buyer's dated approval. Keep model, batch, quotation, sample, inspection, payment and shipment references together so the next reviewer can see what changed and why.
Pause the next approval under Supplier Verification Process. Record the failed requirement and affected quantity or document, ask for the cause and proposed correction, then define the evidence needed for a recheck. The buyer decides whether to accept, rework, reinspect, renegotiate, change supplier, or stop; the failed result should never be overwritten.
Clear expectations help keep China sourcing work practical and responsible.
This can go either way depending on the buyer's preference; some prefer verifying interest before quoting, others after.
