Before approving a wholesale guitar order, reconcile the dated specification, sample record, quotation and purchase order. Give each model a defined role in the range and resolve fields that disagree. Photographs help identify appearance and visible configuration; written evidence must establish materials, measurements, component functions and included contents.
1. Establish the product and document identity
Record brand, model code, category, handedness, finish and revision. Identify the target player and sales channel beside the model: a school instrument, a compact travel option and an amplified performance model require different review priorities. Keep marketing titles separate from the stable ordering identity.
2. Replace broad descriptions with checkable fields
| Area | Confirm before approval |
|---|---|
| Construction | Top, back, sides, neck, fingerboard and bridge materials; neck joint and the exact solid, laminated or veneer description where applicable. |
| Dimensions | Scale length, nut width, body length/width/depth and overall length, with units and measurement points. |
| Hardware and electronics | Tuners, bridge, pickups, selector positions, controls, output and any active function; battery type and inclusion where needed. |
| Finish and contents | Approved colour/surface reference, acceptable variation, strings and individually listed bag, cable, tools, manual or spares. |
| Packaging | Inner protection, package revision, labels, barcode fields and carton marks required by the channel. |
Terms such as “full size”, “solid wood” or “professional pickup” need precise supporting fields. Grain does not prove species, grade or internal construction. Do not transfer a missing value from a similar model. Assign an owner to confirm it before approving a claim or affected order line.
3. Check measurements and function together
Scale length, nut width, neck profile and body dimensions answer different questions; one size label cannot replace them. Record the measuring method and source. Convert units from one approved value. Compare bag/case internal dimensions with the actual instrument, and record an agreed tolerance or approval method rather than making one sample measurement a universal limit.
For electric or amplified instruments, test every documented switch position, control and output through a known cable and suitable system. Record intermittent output, noise and its test conditions. A visible control does not identify the complete circuit; photographs and functional evidence serve different purposes.
4. Connect finish and sample decisions
Agree a finish code, physical sample or other identified reference under consistent lighting. Screens can change colour appearance. Distinguish acceptable natural grain variation from an unapproved material, component or finish change; one photograph does not promise identical grain on every instrument.
Review the sample beside the current sheet. Record its revision, date, configuration, measurements, tests and accepted corrections. Retain earlier versions and update the written requirement after a change. Sample photographs assist identification and receiving, but do not replace specification fields.
5. Reconcile and release the order record
Compare quotation and purchase order line by line: model, revision, finish, configuration, quantity, included items, packaging and authorized labels. The order may reference an approved specification instead of repeating every field, provided the revision is unambiguous. Document the effect of later changes and obtain the required approval before using them.
Release only when important conflicts are closed or explicitly held, the responsible approvers are named and sales/receiving teams can locate the same current record. This makes a repeat order traceable without relying on an old chat or image filename.
