Supplier commitment acceptance of orders verified and managed - Meaning

[Doubtful Guest]

Can someone please explain me the meaning of this sentence in a questionnaire:

"Supplier commitment acceptance of orders verified and managed"

I'm a translator for quality function and I'm quite lost in translating this term. Does it have something to do with managing supplier's obligations to accept orders? or there's a comma missing...

Thanks in advance))

They could just be asking how you do your contract review.

Unfortunately, the English language has endless opportunities for taking simple, everyday words and combining them in a such way that they end up making no sense whatsoever.

I'm sure you know that Google translates the sentence as:
"Поставщик приверженность принятию заказов проверены и управляется"
and I have every confidence you find that as incomprehensible as I do.

I suggest you either go back to the source of the questionaire and ask for clarification or invent an equally meaningless response and hope they're stupid enough to accept it.

You do a contract review. If you agree to the terms of the contract proposal, you have to follow through with an acceptance action, what ever it may be. In rare instances it's a verbal acceptance, but generally acceptance is documented for legal and other reasons.

My opinion is that they are simply saying you have a contract acceptance system (which typically is within the contract review procedure/system at or near the end).

Thanks

Marc, you mean the acceptance of the order by a supplier, and being accepted this order forms an obligation (commitment) on a supplier?

I would definitely need to check with an author))

I read this to mean:
Supplier commitment: acceptance of orders, (are they ) verified and managed
As said before it should be part of the contract review process. It has basically to phases: prior to commiting a bid/price proposal and after receing the order. The last is what the question refers to : do you have an order acknolewgment step (in which you erify that the order clauses do not differ from what you have comiited to in your proposal and or subsequent negotiations.

Willy,
Thank you very much. This way it really makes sense.
