Checklist
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.

- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
Commercial terms
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (107 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1607 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (13032 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
