Import distributors
Import distributors buy goods from suppliers and need to associate shipment charges with the requests that started the purchase. The records connect the organization, supplier, purchase request and allocation so the team can inspect a charge in the context of the commitment that produced it.

Keep the supplier and operating organization on the purchase request before review.
Retain the decision
Have a separate approver decide on the submitted revision and leave a reason.
Track actual receipt
Record accepted line quantities and invoice references when goods arrive.
Review the charge
Attach the shipment reference, cost and allocation basis to the parent request.
Import distributors buy goods from suppliers and need to associate shipment charges with the requests that started the purchase. The records connect the organization, supplier, purchase request and allocation so the team can inspect a charge in the context of the commitment that produced it.
An imported shipment arrives with freight and duty charges. The buyer follows the order reference from the purchase request, then prepares an allocation with the shipment reference and basis. The approver checks the submitted revision before deciding.
The order reference and operation receipt help the team distinguish a recorded request from a completed handoff. The allocation decision gives a second review point for freight, duty or insurance. An auditor can follow the parent request, reviewer and evidence without relying on memory.
Start with one supplier, one organization and a small shipment. Record requested and accepted quantities separately, then review the freight allocation after the charge is known. Bring one example with an ordinary approval and another with a discrepancy. Compare the source revision, decision and operation receipt in each case. Settle the owner for failed receipts before a wider rollout.
