1Specification sorting
Clarify product type, wattage, capacity, voltage, battery chemistry, installation use, target market, quantity, sample needs, and documents requested. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. Define specification sorting at a level a supplier can quote and an inspector can verify. Connect function, construction, components, ratings, artwork, packaging, test needs, and destination requirements to one dated revision, with unapproved alternatives listed separately rather than blended into the offer.
2Supplier comparison
Compare supplier options by model match, MOQ, lead time, quoted accessories, warranty terms, sample policy, document support, and packing details. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. Before approving supplier comparison, separate supplier statements from documents or observations that support them. Match the legal entity, factory role, product process, quantity range, lead-time basis, and sample status to this page's requirement, then record who resolves each remaining exception.
3Document requests
Coordinate questions about test reports, declarations, labels, manuals, battery safety documents, product photos, model numbers, and certificate scope. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. Use document requests to distinguish evidence that exists from evidence that applies. Check the named manufacturer, factory where relevant, product and model, tested configuration, standard edition, laboratory, issue date, destination, and any later change that could invalidate the document.
4Sample follow-up
Organize sample instructions, photos, videos, measurements, packaging notes, visible differences, and buyer feedback before bulk order approval. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. Leave the next owner a clear handoff, including open questions and delays.
5Inspection planning
Prepare checks. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. Leave the next owner a clear handoff, including open questions and delays. Connect inspection planning to the exact model, specification revision, approved sample, lot or batch, test method, defect class, result, corrective action, and release owner. Keep exceptions open until the buyer reviews evidence from a recheck or accepts the stated limitation in writing.
6Shipping preparation
Help coordinate carton data, pallet or crate needs, battery document questions, pickup readiness, freight communication, and shipment handoff. Keep the owner, open questions, and buyer approval visible as work moves forward. The record for shipping preparation connects the named pickup and delivery points with cargo facts, booking basis, export and import documents, insurance position, cut-off dates, and final-delivery responsibility. Keep estimates separate from confirmed carrier or forwarder information until the buyer approves the route.
