Replacement approval workflow
Office Chair Spare Parts Replacement Approval Workflow for Distributors
A clear approval workflow helps distributors decide which office chair spare parts claims should be approved, which cases need more evidence, and which replacement parts should ship now or with the next bulk order.
SaiguTechs supports B2B buyers with replacement approval for gas lifts, casters, mechanisms, armrests, headrests, footrests, mesh backs, screw kits, accessory bags, dealer service kits, and monthly after-sales replenishment.
Factory approval tip: approve replacement parts only after the claim has enough evidence to confirm the model, batch, part code, claim reason, quantity, and shipping urgency.
Replacement Approval Status Table
| Approval status | When to use it | Factory or distributor action |
|---|---|---|
| Approved - ship now | Evidence is complete, part code is confirmed, and the dealer needs urgent repair support. | Confirm spare part quantity, delivery address, courier option, and shipment timing. |
| Approved - next bulk order | Claim is valid but not urgent, or the distributor wants to combine parts with the next container/order. | Add the part to next order packing list and service stock replenishment plan. |
| Pending evidence | Photos, videos, batch code, carton mark, or part code are missing or unclear. | Request the missing evidence before factory replacement confirmation. |
| Wrong part request | Requested part does not match the model, version, color, or chair structure. | Use photos and model details to identify the correct replacement part. |
| Monthly review item | The same dealer, model, or part appears repeatedly and needs trend review. | Add to monthly claim review before changing service stock or packing controls. |
Approval Workflow by Claim Scenario
Missing part approval
- Check accessory bag photo, carton content photo, assembly step photo, model, and part code.
- Approve when the missing item is confirmed and quantity is clear.
- Ship immediately for urgent dealer cases or add to next order for service stock.
Damaged part approval
- Review close-up damage photos, full chair photo, carton label, and carton damage if available.
- Separate transport damage, installation damage, and possible production issues.
- Confirm if the replacement part needs color or version matching.
Function issue approval
- Request short videos for gas lift, recline, mechanism, caster, footrest, and armrest issues.
- Check installation status before approving the replacement.
- Record repeated function cases for factory review and future order planning.
