Stock Notifications and Repeat Supply
Use the catalogue for current product listings. For a future requirement, ask about the exact product, container size and quantity. Current availability, a replenishment estimate and a commitment to supply the same lot are three different things.
Choose the right availability question
| Your requirement | Ask about |
|---|---|
| A purchase now | Current availability of the stated product and quantity |
| A later purchase | Whether replenishment information exists and how tentative it is |
| Another container from an earlier lot | Availability of that exact lot |
| Several future orders | Whether an agreed supply arrangement is available |
Order acceptance remains subject to buyer eligibility and review. A product listing does not bypass those conditions.
Send a useful repeat-supply enquiry
Give customer service the product name, required quantity and your target date. Add the previous order and lot if continuity matters. State whether a different lot would require your approval before supply.
Ask for the basis and date of any availability estimate. If there is no confirmed replenishment date, treat the timing as unresolved. Do not plan a dependent research stage around an estimate represented as a guarantee.
Use the volume-supply route when the enquiry concerns a defined quantity or multiple presentations, with the required date stated as a request to confirm.
Keep stock and lot records separate
A product can return to stock with a different lot. When a new container arrives, reconcile its label and documents even if the product name and nominal fill are unchanged. The batch log keeps that transition visible.
For allocation of a named lot, use the repeat-lot request checklist. This page provides an enquiry route; it does not offer an automatic stock-alert subscription or a standard reservation period.
