PART / POINT / EVIDENCE / QUESTION

A receiving point should not lose its part. A part should not lose its evidence.

A list of products is only the start. Keep the requested unit with each line, the allocation with its destination and the drawing or sample with the part it describes. A changed requirement then has a clear place to be reviewed.

01Identify each requirement.

Keep the exact YAKU part, your own code and the requested quantity on an identifiable line. Pieces, cartons and rolls retain their chosen units.

02Connect the receiving points.

Record the consignee, address and intended handover point. Allocate each line in its own unit; leave any remaining balance visible.

03Keep the evidence identifiable.

THE SHARED CATALOGUE / EXACT PART IDENTITIES

Begin with a reference you can carry through the file.

Metal components and woven or PET strapping retain their own source dimensions, finish and unit. A familiar width or image does not establish an interchangeable component or an approved strapping system.

FICTIONAL PURCHASING EXAMPLE

Three roles. The same requirement in view.

Alex prepares a sourcing enquiry for an imaginary purchasing team. Sam checks which drawing and sample references are intended. Taylor reviews the receiving details. They each need the original line to remain recognisable as the file develops.

Alex, Sam and Taylor are fictional buying roles, not YAKU staff, customers or endorsers. This is an illustrative working situation, not an actual enquiry, approved sample, service commitment or delivery arrangement.

AlexPurchasing

Keeps an internal code separate from the exact YAKU part and states the requested unit before assigning quantities to destinations.

SamTechnical review

Records the drawing revision and sample reference against the intended line. An earlier record keeps its original part identity if the requirement changes.

TaylorReceiving coordination

Checks the consignee and receiving point for each allocation. Open booking, unloading or packing questions stay requests for confirmation.

THE NEXT ANSWER NEEDS THE RIGHT CONTEXT

Keep the question beside the requirement it affects.

An unanswered question can belong in a useful enquiry. An allocation in the wrong unit, above its line total or linked to a missing line or destination needs correcting before the combined review can be prepared.

Packing: Ask for the exact reference's carton content or roll length; leave an unknown value unknown.
Evidence: Keep a drawing, sample and review source identifiable. A recorded status does not create a test result.
Receiving point: An allocation states where goods are requested. It does not reserve transport or confirm a delivery date.
Repeat requirement: Changed parts, units, references and destinations need review; previous price and approval are not inherited.

REVIEW / KEEP A COPY / SHARE DELIBERATELY

Pass on the full requirement. Keep the questions visible.

Save the complete draft for your team and choose what to share through your agreed channel. Preparing or downloading a file does not send an enquiry to YAKU.

A.TR is not an origin answer: prepare the right evidence question

An A.TR is evidence of the customs status of goods in free circulation; the Türkiye Ministry of Trade says it is not for proof of origin.

THE DECISIONS BEHIND THE RECORDS

Keep the context
with the brief.

Keep the line, destination and evidence connected

A part line states what you need and in which unit. A destination states who should receive it and at which point. Drawing and sample references identify the version that needs review. Keep those records linked so a colleague can follow the requirement without reconstructing it from separate messages.

Start with an exact YAKU part and your own line reference. Add the receiving points, allocations, evidence references and questions needed for your enquiry. Separate requirements can use the same catalogue part while keeping different review or destination details. The combined draft still needs technical and commercial confirmation by the parties.

The unit stays with the requested quantity

The catalogue separates metal components from woven and PET strap sourcing enquiries. Each part retains its own listed dimensions, finish and known packing. Similar names, widths or photographs do not establish that two items are interchangeable.

Request metal components in pieces or cartons and strapping in rolls. Each allocation follows its own line and chosen unit. Even where carton content is known, this desk makes no piece-to-carton conversion. Unknown roll length remains unknown, and there is no total combining pieces, cartons and rolls.

Make each unanswered question easier to place

Keep the drawing revision, sample reference or previous source beside the line it concerns. Link a packing or receiving-point question to that line or destination and record who will obtain the answer. A response source recorded by the buyer remains distinct from a supplier commitment.

Review the linked brief, copy it or save the complete draft files for your purchasing team. You choose whether to open a WhatsApp draft afterwards. Preparing, copying or downloading a brief does not send an enquiry or place an order.

Keep a copy before leaving

Your work stays in this open workspace as you move between its task panels. Information and catalogue links open alongside your populated workspace, keeping the draft tab available. A confirmed refresh or departure, Reset, or Discard draft & leave clears the draft. Save the full files first; saved files cannot be imported back into this desk.

Prefer to browse the range first? Open the global or European catalogue through the labelled links. Each site serves a different purchasing task, and you choose where to go.
