The purchasing decision
Use distinct storage locations and labels for serviceable, pending-inspection and rejected material. Tie returns to the job and original item where possible. Do not return a component to available stock merely because it looks intact.
Keep these records
- Part identity and condition.
- Physical storage status.
- Inspection disposition and owner.
Give each record an owner and a revision or date. If a supplier proposes a different part or test condition, record it as an exception for review before treating the quotation as equivalent.
Turn the review into a sourcing request
Start with the linked component checklist, add the actual platform and part identity, and state quantity, destination and timing. List unresolved requirements explicitly so the first discussion can focus on those gaps.
