Define the product and form
Start with the material you need: billet, rebar, sheet or coil, wire rod, steelmaking feedstock or an alloy addition. Describe the intended use where it helps explain the requirement. Product names alone may leave several possible forms or grades.
Record the specification
State the requested grade and standard, including its edition if your purchase specification defines one. Include relevant dimensions, tolerances, surface finish and any particular inspection or analysis requirements. If these details are undecided, identify what is still open for discussion.
Separate quantity from packing
Give the total quantity and its unit. Then describe the preferred packing: bundles, coils, pallets, bags or other units. Where relevant, include maximum individual unit weight and any loading or unloading restrictions.
Define delivery and timing
Name the destination city or port and country, the preferred shipment window and the date the material is needed. State any agreed commercial delivery term and identify whether onward delivery is part of the requested scope.
List documents and review points
Share the documents required by your procurement team, such as material certificates, analysis reports or inspection records. Ask the commercial team to confirm availability, specification, origin, packing, price basis and delivery scope before an order is agreed.
Bring your brief to AG Global
Share the details you have and identify the points that still need to be agreed.
