Design Approval and Advance for Modular Kitchens
Approval is the point where a kitchen stops being a proposal. The accepted revision, the advance and the work order are recorded together on the project.
What approval records
Three things are fixed at once, and all three are read later when a dispute comes up.
Opening the work order
Once the advance is in, a work order opens against the project and carries the approved unit list to the factory. It names the delivery window discussed with the client and the fitting team pencilled in. Production cannot begin without it. Where your showroom starts cutting on a part advance, the trigger amount is set at implementation and applied to every project the same way.
Who acts at this stage
What stays outside this step
- It does not collect payment; it records what was received
- Contract wording and terms of sale remain your own documents
- How much advance starts production is your rule
- Tax treatment of an advance is for your accountant to advise
Frequently asked questions
Can production start on a part advance?
Yes, where your rule allows it. The amount that opens a work order is set once and used on every project.
Is the client signature stored?
Yes. A scan, photograph or message reply attaches to the approved revision and stays with the project.
What if the client later disputes the design?
The approved revision carries its date and the confirmation received. Both are opened side by side with the client.
Can an approval be withdrawn?
An approval can be reversed by a person with that right, and the change is logged. Work already cut is a commercial matter between you and the client.
