Work from the selling unit to the outer pack.

A trade order needs more than a pack weight. It needs a clear relationship between what you buy, what you handle, and what your customer receives.

Keep three units separate

The usage unit is what the customer opens or takes for one job. The selling unit is what you invoice to that customer. The shipping unit is the outer pack counted at dispatch or receipt.

Write down how those units relate. This allows both parties to reconcile a quotation without silently assuming that a pack means the same thing at every stage.

Ask about the physical pack

Use the planner to prepare a request. Its routes do not imply that a particular pack material, size, or format is available. Ask sales to establish those details in the quotation.

  • Net contents separately from wrapping weight.
  • Material, closure, and handling after opening.
  • Unit count inside each outer pack.
  • Product identity and receiving-point marks.

For your buying note

Ask for a unit the kitchen can handle.

Find out how much the user opens at one time and where the remaining stock goes. A familiar trade pack may not suit their storage space.

  • Record consumption per service or day.
  • Request the outer format and its net weight.
  • Discuss how an opened pack would be handled.

For your buying note

Separate the retail unit from the shipping unit.

State whether the customer sells sealed packs or divides the stock. Your selling unit and the supplier’s quoted unit need a clear relationship.

  • Describe the unit your customer sells.
  • Ask for the count inside each outer pack.
  • Agree how product identity appears on the label.

For your buying note

Plan the allocation before the outer pack.

List what each receiving point needs. Consolidated delivery and onward distribution are different requests; ask sales to confirm the scope.

  • Record quantities by receiving point.
  • Discuss marks that identify each allocation.
  • Distinguish the first warehouse from the final user.
Describe your order

This planner suggests questions, not available pack formats. Confirm material, net weight, and closures with sales.
