Is the budget a unit or whole-order number?
Write currency and basis. A number without basis cannot be compared with a drum quote and a tank quote. No savings percentage is calculated here.
Decision worksheet
Wholesale acetone RFQ planner
Use this planner to settle specification, document and approval questions before a wholesale acetone inquiry is sent. It reuses a quote-console structure, but the content is a buyer worksheet, not a sustainability story and not a live price board.

Planner gates that must be marked open or accepted
Wholesale acetone requests stall when assay, package and documents are implied rather than written. Mark each gate below as buyer-specified, supplier-to-confirm or accepted. Do not delete a blank; a blank is a decision still owed.
| Gate | What must be written | If still open |
|---|---|---|
| Specification | Chemical name, CAS 67-64-1 if applicable, grade, assay, water, acidity, residue, color and inhibitor. Recovered material stays on its own line. | Supplier to confirm |
| Quantity | Kilograms, metric tons, liters, drums, IBCs or tank loads, plus sample, trial, forecast or firm-order status. | Quantity basis blank |
| Documents | SDS, TDS, CoA fields, TSCA or REACH questions and any GMP or ISO file the receiving team will actually read. | File list incomplete |
| Approval | Who signs assay exceptions, package substitutions and budget overruns, plus optional high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided preference. | Decision owner unnamed |
Planner questions that block a premature send
Has transport classification been requested?
Ask the supplier to confirm UN number, packing group and flash-point statement for the quoted package. Do not treat a public textbook value as the shipping declaration.
What happens if a manufacturer offers an alternate?
Record the alternate on a new row. Buyer quality must accept it before the original specification is closed. See the procurement brief for the comparison table.
File the wholesale acetone worksheet with open cells marked
Write “supplier to confirm” on any assay, UN 1090 or CoA field you have not accepted. An honest incomplete planner is more useful than a form that hides missing water limits or document owners.
