Using This Record

Keep the sample separate from saleable stock. Any functional evaluation should follow the supplier's instructions and be appropriate for the item; a sample review is not product certification.

Include a date and product or order reference when saving the record. Keep any related quotation, specification and confirmation with it so another member of staff can follow the purchasing discussion.
