Index
Customers attach purchase orders containing internal codes that differ from supplier catalog identifiers. The file helps negotiations but must not silently change confirmed portal lines. Include this reconciliation in implementation scope.
Choose the operating model before requesting a quote
Compare human-reviewed attachments with automatic field extraction. Extraction may accelerate large volumes but must display matches and uncertainties. Recognized text is not commercial authorization until the appropriate person has checked it.
Customer codes can reference more than one supplier item. Matching must consider description and units, with confirmation when uncertain. A correctly parsed document can still represent an incorrect order if integration automatically chooses the first occurrence of a similar code without reviewing its commercial context.
Requirements to include in the proposal
- Map customer item codes to the supplier's corresponding catalog lines
- Expose quantity and condition differences before obtaining order acceptance
- Link the accepted attachment version to the order with authorized access
An acceptance test for this specific purchase
Use a hypothetical document whose quantities differ from the cart. Confirmation must expose the discrepancy and preserve the accepted version. Replace the attachment afterward: the previous order must retain the document actually approved.
