PRECISION ROAST / SUPPLIERS/CONTROL POINT

WHAT TO CHECKBEFORE PAYMENT

Before payment, the transaction documents must clearly answer: who is paid, for what configuration, after what result and what will happen if the discrepancy.

Pre-payment verification combines the commercial, technical and logistical versions of the order: check the parties, details, specifications, drawings, tests, packaging, documents, delivery conditions and the procedure for changes. An unclosed critical question is noted explicitly, not hidden in correspondence.

The payment stage occurs after fulfillment of the above conditions and confirmation through a known channel, and not only because the supplier issued an invoice.

Verification before the next decision

Mark the item closed only when there is a document, measurement, observation or designated responsible person.

  1. 01

    Verify legal names and bank recipient

  2. 02

    approve the final version of the specification and drawings

  3. 03

    list the package of delivery, consumables and exceptions

  4. 04

    link the payment stage to the document or result

  5. 05

    agree FAT, inspection and correction of nonconformities

  6. 06

    Approving packaging, marking and shipping documents

  7. 07

    Check the terms of delivery and cost allocation

  8. 08

    Introduce a written process for changing orders and details

From Initial Data to Verified Results

Each stage preserves the boundary between the revealed fact, the editorial method and what still needs to be confirmed.

01

Check the counterparty and details

The full name of the party to the contract, the invoice and the recipient of the payment must be the same or have a documented connection. The details are confirmed via a previously known channel.

  • party
  • banker
  • confirmation
02

Freeze the technical version

Attach model, options, agreed-upon BOM, drawings, power, materials, interfaces, and exceptions. All references to "standard configuration" should lead to a specific document.

  • version
  • signed
  • list of open questions
03

Link money to the verifiable stages

Identify the outcome of the following payment: approved drawing, completed production, successful FAT, closed inspection report or a set of shipping documents, indicate who confirms the stage and how comments are removed.

  • stage
  • proof
  • procedure
04

Check delivery and documentary kit

Check the packaging, preservation, dimensions, weight, marking of places, delivery conditions and the party organizing the transportation and insurance, the list of commercial, transport and technical documents will be agreed before shipment with the broker and the compliance specialist.

  • packing list and marking
  • delivery
  • manuals and certificates
05

Conduct a final cross-check

Commercial, technical and logistics executives read one package and note the inconsistencies. The final sheet records closed items, accepted risks and blocking issues.

  • package
  • open-air
  • payment

Before testing or requesting the supplier

Short answers retain the same limitations as the main material.

01Is it possible to pay if some of the characteristics are not yet known?

Depending on the criticality. Unknown voltage, interface, size or FAT criterion can make the equipment unusable. Lock the impact and do not open the stage until the blocking question is closed.

02How to check the change of bank details?

Stop the payment and contact a known representative via a previously verified channel, get an official explanation and recheck the legal side; do not use the contact from the change message itself as the only confirmation.

03What should be ready before the deposit?

At a minimum, the parties, the model, the key configuration, the price, the steps, the timing, and the process of change should be understood. For a complex machine, add engineering requirements, tests, and documentary commitments.

04Inspection replaces FAT?

Not always. The FAT checks the work according to the script, and the inspection can focus on identity, completeness and condition, and the scope of each check needs to be described and the gaps eliminated.

Return to the primary sources

Check the supplier and the source listing before fixing the final package.
