1. Purchase Order Reference Number
1. Purchase Order Reference Number
Unique identifier for the purchase order and platform job. The unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to this purchase order in the Fractory platform. Use this reference number to track the job throughout production, communicate with Fractory about the order, locate related documents in the platform, and reference when requesting shipping or submitting quality documentation. You must include this number on all communications and documentation related to this job.
2. Order Header Information
2. Order Header Information
Key details about you as the supplier, the client, order dates, and total value. Summary information that establishes the commercial framework of the purchase order. Review this section to verify you are the correct supplier, understand the order and delivery timeline, and know the total order value for your invoicing purposes. The client contact information provides a direct communication channel if you need it during production or if quality issues arise.
3. Service Level Indicator
3. Service Level Indicator
Visual label indicating special handling requirements (e.g., EXPEDITED). Prominent visual indicator that appears only when special service levels apply to the order. Check for this label immediately upon receiving the purchase order to understand if expedited processing is required, prioritize your production scheduling accordingly, and ensure you can meet the accelerated delivery date. The absence of this label indicates standard service level applies.
4. Scheduled Deliveries
4. Scheduled Deliveries
List of all planned deliveries within this purchase order, with their references and groupings. Complete overview of the delivery structure for this purchase order. Use this section to understand how many separate deliveries you need to make, identify which delivery order numbers correspond to each shipment, and determine whether item groupings apply to each delivery (if specified). Each delivery listed here will have a corresponding detailed Delivery Order document available for you to download.
5. Target Delivery Date
5. Target Delivery Date
The date by which each delivery must be shipped or arrive. Deadline for each scheduled delivery, indicating when your shipment must be ready for pickup. Use these dates to plan your production schedule, coordinate with your own suppliers for materials, schedule quality control inspections to complete before shipping, and request shipping through the platform to meet the deadline.
6. QA Requirements
6. QA Requirements
Specific quality assurance checks and documentation you must provide before shipping. Detailed list of quality assurance activities that you must complete and document before each delivery can be shipped. Carefully review these requirements to understand what documentation you need to provide (certificates, test reports, photos, proof of materials), plan when inspections and testing must occur in your production schedule, allocate resources for quality control activities, and prepare documentation in the format specified. Each QA requirement has a corresponding due date by which you must submit the documentation through the platform.
7. QA Submission Deadlines
7. QA Submission Deadlines
Due dates by which you must complete and submit each quality control check. Specific deadlines for submitting your quality assurance documentation through the Fractory platform. Track these dates separately from delivery dates because QA documentation is typically due before the actual shipment date, allowing Fractory and the client time to review your quality documentation and approve shipment. Missing QA deadlines may delay shipping authorization even if your parts are physically ready, and can impact your quality performance metrics on the platform.
8. Delivery Groupings
8. Delivery Groupings
Item groups that you must package separately within a delivery. Specification of how you should separate items within a single delivery into distinct groups during packing. Use this information to understand which items must be kept together or separate, pack items according to the specified groupings when preparing the shipment. Groupings are indicated by codes like "-G1A, G1B, -G2A" or "-P1, -FW1" where the prefix indicates if the group requires PROCESSING by you (-Gxx and -Px) or should be FORWARDED without modification (-FWx).
9. Item Specifications
9. Item Specifications
Complete list of all items in the purchase order with detailed specifications, quantities, and pricing. Comprehensive inventory of every item included in the entire purchase order, regardless of delivery schedule. Use this section to understand the complete scope of work for the job, review technical specifications including part names, IDs, drawings, material requirements, and dimensions, identify manufacturing processes you need to perform for each item, see total quantities needed across all deliveries, reference pricing information for your invoicing, and review any special part notes that provide critical manufacturing or quality guidance. This section shows the big picture of the entire job before items are divided into individual deliveries.
10. Manufacturing Processes Required
10. Manufacturing Processes Required
Production operations that you must complete as part of this job's scope. List of manufacturing processes that are within the scope of this purchase order and that you must perform. These are indicated in green text and represent operations that you are responsible for completing and will be paid for.
11. Post-Delivery Operations
11. Post-Delivery Operations
Processes that will be performed after this job, outside your current scope. Manufacturing operations shown in gray text that will be completed by another party after you ship your delivery. These are informational only — you are not responsible for performing these processes. Review these to understand the complete product lifecycle, ensure your work is compatible with downstream processes (e.g., leaving appropriate surface preparation for coating), avoid accidentally performing operations outside your scope, and provide appropriate handling instructions if needed to protect parts for subsequent operations.
