  1. Buy Complete Systems for Specialty Equipment
  2. Processing Purchase Orders Efficiently
  3. Look at the Big Picture
]]> When ordering lots of smaller items (e.g. 50 x 40mm PVC ball valves) it is a good idea to order 5 to 10 percent more than required.

  • This allows for breakages.
  • This is especially important if the project is not well planned (e.g. the design is not complete at the time of order) .
  • Ordering extras saves money because you get them at the bulk price instead of buying small numbers of extras later at a higher per item price.
