Buyer's checklist
Purchase order, shipment, duty and freight, receipt, allocation. Check the item cost at the end.
Contract prices, volume breaks and rebates must be maintainable by the sales team, not IT.
FAQ
Warehouse accuracy (barcode, locations, cycle counts) and landed cost. Everything else — pricing, reporting, eCommerce — depends on those being right.
