📋 12-month warranty — but which unit is actually covered?

A warranty is much easier to use when the item can be traced back to the original purchase records.

Six months after delivery, a faulty unit should not trigger questions like:

❓ Which invoice covered it?
❓ What model was supplied?
❓ What is the serial number?
❓ When was it delivered?
❓ What warranty terms applied?
❓ Who supplied it?

Before filing a purchase, keep the important details together:

✅ Supplier name
✅ Invoice number
✅ LPO reference
✅ Product/model
✅ Serial or batch number
✅ Delivery date
✅ Warranty terms
✅ Warranty document
✅ Responsible department/user
✅ Supplier contact

“IT HAS A WARRANTY” IS NOT ENOUGH IF YOU CAN’T TRACE THE PURCHASE.

A better process is:

PURCHASE → RECEIVE → RECORD → USE → TRACE

And remember:

WARRANTY ON PAPER is good.
WARRANTY + TRACEABLE RECORD is much easier to act on.

DON’T WAIT FOR A PRODUCT TO FAIL BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE WARRANTY DOCUMENTS.

📦 **A lower unit price doesn’t always mean a better procurement decision.**

Bulk buying can save money — but only when the stock will actually be used.

Before increasing quantities just to get a better price, procurement teams should check:

✅ Current stock on hand
✅ Average monthly consumption
✅ Required quantity
✅ Shelf life or expiry where applicable
✅ Remaining shelf life on supplied stock
✅ Storage requirements
✅ Batch information
✅ Reorder frequency
✅ Stock rotation
✅ Whether phased supply would make more sense

For example:

**300 units @ KSh 200 each**
vs.
**500 units @ KSh 175 each**

The second option looks cheaper. But if only **300 units are used** and the remaining 200 become unsuitable, that “saving” may disappear.

**BULK QUANTITY ≠ AUTOMATICALLY BETTER VALUE**

Think beyond the unit price:

**PRICE × USAGE × SHELF LIFE = SMARTER BUYING DECISION**

And where applicable:

**OLDER / EARLIER-DATED STOCK → ISSUE FIRST**

📌 **Buy enough to save — not so much that the saving sits on the shelf.**

📦 **The bulk price looks better — but how much will you actually use?**

Buying more can reduce the unit price, but that does **not automatically mean better procurement value**.

For products with a shelf life, procurement should also consider:

✅ Current stock on hand
✅ Average monthly usage
✅ Required quantity
✅ Shelf life or expiry where applicable
✅ Remaining shelf life on supplied stock
✅ Storage requirements
✅ Batch information
✅ Reorder frequency
✅ Stock rotation
✅ Whether phased supply makes more sense

Example:

**300 units @ KSh 200 each**
vs.
**500 units @ KSh 175 each**

The 500-unit option looks cheaper per unit.

But what if you only use **300 units** before the remaining stock is no longer suitable?

Then the apparent saving may disappear.

**CHEAPER PER UNIT CAN BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE PER UNIT ACTUALLY USED.**

A smarter buying decision considers:

**PRICE × USAGE × SHELF LIFE**

And where applicable:

**OLDER / EARLIER-DATED STOCK → ISSUE FIRST**

The key message:

**BUY ENOUGH TO SAVE — NOT SO MUCH THAT THE SAVING SITS ON THE SHELF.**

📋 **Quantity: 100. But 100 what?**

A number without a clear **unit of measure** can turn a simple RFQ into a costly procurement mistake.

“Safety Gloves — Qty: 100” could mean:

📦 100 boxes
🧤 100 pairs
✋ 100 pieces
📦 100 cartons

Same number. **Very different order.**

Before sending an RFQ, confirm:

✅ Product description
✅ Quantity
✅ Unit of measure
✅ Pack size where relevant
✅ Size, colour or variant
✅ Brand/model or specification
✅ Whether quantities refer to individual units or packs
✅ Delivery requirement

And when comparing quotations, make sure you are comparing the **same unit**.

**KSh 900 per box** and **KSh 120 per pair** are not directly comparable until the units are aligned.

**PRODUCT → QUANTITY → UOM → PACK SIZE → SPECIFICATION → QUOTE**

A clear unit of measure protects both the buyer and the supplier.

**Don’t write “100.” Write “100 pieces,” “100 pairs” or “100 boxes.”**

Which unit of measure causes the most confusion in your procurement — **pieces, pairs, boxes, packets, rolls or cartons?** 👇

📦 **100 items delivered — but did the right site get the right quantity?**

In multi-site procurement, getting the **total quantity right** is only part of the job. The allocation to each branch, department or location also has to match the plan.

For example:

**LPO Total: 100 Safety Helmets**

✅ Nairobi HQ — 50
✅ Athi River — 30
✅ Thika Branch — 20

But if the actual delivery is:

❌ Nairobi HQ — 70
❌ Athi River — 20
❌ Thika Branch — 10

the total is still **100**, yet the distribution is wrong.

Before dispatch, confirm:

✅ Total quantity
✅ Quantity per site
✅ Sizes or variants per location
✅ Exact delivery addresses
✅ Receiving contact person
✅ Contact phone number
✅ Delivery date or window
✅ Site-specific documentation
✅ Whether deliveries are together or separate
✅ Proof of delivery for each location

**TOTAL QUANTITY ≠ CORRECT DISTRIBUTION**

Don’t just tell the supplier how much to deliver.

**Tell them where each quantity belongs.**

**TOTAL → ALLOCATE → DISPATCH → RECEIVE → CONFIRM**

When managing multi-site procurement, what causes the most problems in your organisation — **quantity allocation, sizes, delivery addresses, receiving contacts or timing?** 👇

📊 **Before you compare the total — check the VAT.**

Two quotations can show the same unit price and still produce **different final payable totals**.

For example:

**Quotation A:** KSh 2,500 — VAT Exclusive
**Quotation B:** KSh 2,500 — VAT Inclusive

Same headline price? Yes.
Same final cost? **Not necessarily.**

Before approving a quotation, compare:

✅ Unit price
✅ Quantity
✅ Subtotal
✅ VAT treatment
✅ VAT amount where applicable
✅ Delivery charges
✅ Other agreed charges
✅ Final payable total

A better comparison is not just:

**KSh 2,500 vs KSh 2,500**

It is:

**UNIT PRICE + QUANTITY + VAT + DELIVERY + OTHER AGREED COSTS = FINAL PAYABLE TOTAL**

If the VAT treatment is unclear, clarify it before approval.

**DON’T COMPARE HEADLINE PRICES.
COMPARE WHAT THE COMPANY WILL ACTUALLY PAY.**

What causes more quotation confusion in your organisation — **VAT treatment, delivery charges, unit of measure, discounts or payment terms?** 👇

📋 **The order changed — did everyone get the update?**

A small revision on paper can create a big problem at delivery if procurement, the supplier, stores and the requesting department are not working from the same version.

Before treating an order revision as complete, confirm:

✅ Revision number and date
✅ Exactly what changed
✅ Supplier received the revised order
✅ Supplier acknowledged it
✅ Current price still applies
✅ Stock and lead time were reconfirmed where affected
✅ Stores/receiving team has the latest version
✅ Requesting department knows the final requirement
✅ Old copies are clearly marked **superseded**

Remember:

**UPDATED INTERNALLY ≠ UPDATED WITH THE SUPPLIER**

A better process is:

**CHANGE → UPDATE → ACKNOWLEDGE → SUPPLY**

And the key rule:

**THE LATEST APPROVED VERSION SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT GETS QUOTED, SUPPLIED AND RECEIVED.**

What changes most often after an LPO is prepared in your organisation — **quantity, sizes, specification, delivery location or delivery date?** 👇

📦 **50 ordered. 30 delivered. What happens to the other 20?**

Partial deliveries can be useful, especially when part of an urgent requirement is available immediately. But the outstanding balance must stay **visible, documented and followed up**.

A better receiving process should clearly show:

✅ Quantity ordered
✅ Quantity delivered now
✅ Quantity outstanding
✅ Expected balance-delivery date
✅ Sizes or variants still pending
✅ Partial quantity on the delivery note
✅ Outstanding balance in the receiving record
✅ Invoice matched to what was actually received
✅ User department informed of the status
✅ Order only closed once the agreed requirement is complete

**RECEIVED SOMETHING ≠ RECEIVED EVERYTHING**

For example:

**Order:** 50 pairs
**Delivered:** 30 pairs
**Outstanding:** 20 pairs
**Status:** PARTIAL DELIVERY

Then once the balance arrives:

**Total received:** 50 / 50
**Status:** COMPLETE ✅

**DON’T LET A PARTIAL DELIVERY LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE ORDER.**

**ORDERED → DELIVERED → BALANCE → COMPLETED**

Does your organisation allow partial deliveries — and who tracks the outstanding balance: **procurement, stores, accounts or the requesting department?** 👇

🚨 **“We need it urgently.” Then make the request clear.**

Urgent procurement doesn’t mean skipping the details. In fact, the more urgent the order, the less time there is for guessing and back-and-forth.

An incomplete request like:

**“We urgently need safety boots. Please quote ASAP.”**

still leaves important questions:

❓ Which model or specification?
❓ How many pairs?
❓ What sizes?
❓ Where should they be delivered?
❓ When exactly are they needed?

A better urgent RFQ should include:

✅ Product name
✅ Required specification/model
✅ Quantity
✅ Sizes or variants
✅ Delivery location
✅ Required date/time
✅ Whether alternatives are acceptable
✅ Whether partial delivery is acceptable
✅ Contact person for quick clarification

**URGENT ≠ INCOMPLETE**

A clear request can mean:

**CLEAR REQUIREMENT → FASTER STOCK CHECK → FASTER QUOTATION → FASTER DECISION → FASTER SUPPLY**

The more urgent the order, the less time there is for guessing.

What detail is most often missing from urgent procurement requests in your organisation — **quantity, specification, sizes, delivery location or deadline?** 👇
