Design around the distributor’s receiving rules
B2B warehouse distribution in China often involves cartons or pallets sent to a distributor, retailer or business receiving point. Provide appointment rules, delivery windows, pallet specifications and required paperwork for each destination. A parcel shipping plan does not capture the receiving constraints of a business warehouse.
Agree stock allocation and units
Describe whether stock is shared across buyers or reserved for named accounts. Give the conversion between units, cartons and pallets and the rules for partial cartons. Include batch selection and minimum shelf life on delivery where relevant. Specify who approves substitutions and short shipments.
Plan replenishment and exceptions
Provide a normal order profile and promotion forecast. Agree how late changes, missed receiving appointments, shortages and damaged stock are reported. If inventory also serves B2C orders, identify which channel has priority when available stock is low. A single stock total is insufficient without these allocation rules.
Request an operating proposal
Send a sample business order, SKU and carton list, current inventory status and destination requirements. Include forecasts for storage and dispatch. TAPO assesses the contracted warehouse and transport work; customer-specific acceptance, customs release and delivery conditions are confirmed before operations begin.
