Procurement

Standardized listings

Each item has one primary sub-department, one stable handle used in its URL, one SKU, and structured attributes for material, dimensions, color, capacity, and similar properties. Titles state the product family and the distinguishing specification rather than marketing language.

Because attributes are fields rather than prose, a buyer can verify that two candidate items differ only in the property that matters - pack count, dimension, or material - before ordering.

Unambiguous units of sale

The unit of sale is printed on the product page and repeated in the cart line. A case of twelve is ordered as one pack of twelve, not twelve single units; pack counts are capped at six packs per item to keep listings honest about what is being sold.

Repeat purchasing

Handles and SKUs are stable, so a standing order can be recorded once and replayed. The Quick Order page describes the workflow: identifiers, pack-count check, quantities, and cart review.

Auditing and corrections

Order confirmations list items, quantities, and unit prices in a form that reconciles against the buyer's own records. Catalog errors found during an audit - a wrong specification or a misplaced item - should be reported through customer service; corrections are applied to the catalog record itself.

Volume and account purchasing

Organizations that buy across several sites or on invoice terms should read the Business Account page. Account purchasing uses the same catalog and pack counts; the account adds record-keeping and payment terms.
