The purchase order is a legally binding contract between the customer and the investment caster. As with any legal document, the more specific it is, the better. The purchase order should include all of the following information:
- PART NUMBER
- DRAWING NUMBER
- REVISION LEVEL
- QUANITY ORDERED
- PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER
- PIECE PRICE
- DATE REQUIRED
- BUYER’S NAME
- SHIP TO ADDRESS
- BILL TO ADDRESS
- MATERIAL CERTIFICATION REQUIRED
- HEAT TREAT CONDITION REQUIRED
- ANY OTHER CERTIFICATION OR TESTING REQUIRED
All purchase orders should require that the order be acknowledged in writing by the investment foundry. It is the responsibility of the investment caster to inform you if any conditions of the purchase order are unacceptable. The customer should review the acknowledgment and clarify any areas of doubt before production is approved.
