Orders Study section

Orders are often written in reply to enquiries. In this case don`t forget to mention the receipt of the enquiry or samples. Sometimes your order may be tabulated, i.e. arranged in the form of a table. Tabulated order are particularly suitable when there are many items. Large forms use an export order form for ordering; the terms of the purchase are printed on this form. In this case an order form should be sent with a covering letter.

In some trades definite quantities of goods are booked before orders are sent. The buyer asked the seller to book and reserve, say 30000 yards of poplin of such and such quality for him. He does not make out an order before the seller has confirmed the booking.

Trial orders are placed when a client is not sure of the quality of an article and wants to see him on himself. If they turn out good, he may place a bigger order.

In some branches it is customary to place repeat orders for identical goods.

For every large orders, such as may cover a complete factory plant, big machines, etc., often special sales contracts are signed.

Many companies use order-sheets (order-forms, order-notes, indents). These are printed forms, numbered consecutively and usually containing instructions as to time and place of delivery, make-up, packing, marks, mode of sending, insurance, etc. In cases of disputes arising in these matters order-sheets are of much advantage.
