Machine-shop reorder review worksheet
Connect purchase history with a specific staff review, not a predicted order.
No signup. Enter reference codes, add records and download a CSV. Entries stay in the browser tab. Filled fields do not establish completion, approval or compliance.
| Account reference | Last order reference | Recorded purchase date | Part and revision reference | Review reason or buyer context | Staff review date | Review owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company-EXAMPLE-3 | Order-C | 2026-07-15 | Part-D-rev-A | Buyer requested a quantity review after assembly planning | 2026-10-14 | Estimator-A |

- Dates and accounts are fictional examples.
- Purchase history does not predict demand or grant marketing permission.
- Review the current scope before giving price or capacity commitments.
The last two orders were placed several months apart. Your buyer has given no indication of when another batch will be needed. Use the dates to trigger an account review, without predicting demand or committing a future production slot.
The reorder worksheet above connects the last order, part reference, buyer context and next review. Its starting rows are fictional. Dates are staff planning entries, not predicted purchase dates. The worksheet checks missing fields and exports a CSV. It sends no buyer message and creates no order.

Start with a recorded purchase
Use the actual order date under a stated definition. The purchase-order date, acceptance date and shipment date describe different events. Choose the date relevant to the question and retain the source reference. A quote sent in April is not evidence an order was placed in April. Correct duplicated imports before counting intervals between customer purchases.
Keep the part and revision reference with the order. An account buying several unrelated parts does not have one universal reorder cycle. Group the history according to the work being reviewed. The same buyer might request prototypes and recurring production batches. Your CRM should point to the operational record holding those distinctions rather than reducing them to a single next-sale date.
Write why the account deserves a review
Record a useful reason for the next action. The buyer asked to revisit the quantity after an assembly review, requested contact in a particular month or needs an unanswered drawing question resolved. A historical gap alone does not explain what the customer needs today. Keep an unconfirmed future purchase explicitly unconfirmed in the account notes.
HubSpot’s task guidance includes a named assignee, due date, notes and record associations. Use those fields in your existing system. The due date here is the date for staff to review the account, not a customer purchase commitment. Assign the employee who understands the current question and keep promotional preferences in the customer record.

Check the part before offering another quote
Open the previous quote and current drawing references before responding. Confirm whether the buyer needs the same revision, quantity and delivery conditions. A reorder conversation might need a revised estimate. Xometry’s production-quote guidance identifies design and manufacturing details separately from delivery requirements. Use those categories to ask what changed without implying your shop follows its platform.
Do not tell the buyer an old price or lead time still applies unless the responsible staff reviewed the current request. Keep technical questions with the employee qualified to answer them. A reminder should identify the next question your shop owes. It does not authorize manufacturing or turn an informal discussion into an accepted purchase.

Record what happened after the review
Record an outcome your next advisor will understand: needs revised quote, buyer requested later contact, no current requirement or a specific technical question still unresolved. Keep the next action and its owner until the review is complete. Sending a message alone does not complete every task. A closed reminder and a new order belong in separate records.
