Match the requested dimensions
Record the size and shape specified for the item you are sourcing. Check whether dimensions refer to an individual item or its outer packaging, and preserve the units used in the listing. A product family may contain several sizes with separate SKUs.
Distinguish material and packaging
Keep material, adhesive or non-adhesive labeling, and individual or bulk packaging as separate comparison fields. Confirm any required sterile or non-sterile designation in the product documentation. Do not transfer a feature from one variant to another because the names are similar.
Build a traceable stock list
Capture the exact product reference and pack quantity when preparing a replenishment list. Where supplied, retain lot, expiration and storage information with your receiving checklist. These details support organized purchasing without treating a catalog category as a substitute for a specific product specification.
