When a buyer accepts an expired machining quote, review the current material cost and capacity before promising the old price or lead time. Retrieve the offered validity terms and route the renewal to an authorized estimator. Preserve the original quote and issue the reviewed version through the normal approval process. A sales follow-up should not quietly revive an offer the shop has not reassessed.

Identify the expired offer and requested scope
Does the quote reference, part number, revision level, requested quantity and valid period match the Buyer’s original Request for Quote (RFQ)? Does the Buyer still require the same scope of work or are they willing to consider alternative versions? A part number and/or reference that the Buyer is familiar with does not necessarily mean that all of the underlying drawings and delivery terms have not changed.
Retrieve the old material assumption and supplier evidence, then request a current answer where necessary. Separate a changed unit price from a changed minimum purchase quantity or availability condition. Those affect the job differently. Do not invent a standard steel-price increase or apply a percentage from another customer’s order. The estimator needs the current facts relevant to this machining scope. The machining quote lead-time follow-up guide keeps a requested date separate from an accepted commitment.
Review capacity separately from material price
Check the current production schedule and for required external services for the buyer’s request to be processed. Remember, a supplier’s material availability does not necessarily translate into the same delivery lead time for your production. Confirm with the respective production personnel if the proposed commitment is feasible and record the buyer’s required delivery date as a request in the CRM until it is confirmed. Do not use the CRM automation to send out a date that was promised while the quote was still valid.
The renewal worksheet records the expired quote reference, requested scope version, current supplier review, capacity review, approved new offer, buyer decision status and office owner. Use internal codes. The tool does not calculate a binding price or certify production feasibility. Blank review references expose unfinished work, while filled fields still require the shop’s normal commercial and technical approval.
Explain a fictional cost change without guessing profit
Suppose a fictional material requirement of twenty units was quoted at $40 each and is now reviewed at $45 each. The material subtotal changes from $800 to $900, a $100 difference before other costs. That difference alone does not determine the new customer price or the whole job’s profit. The estimator must review the complete scope, production cost and accepted commercial terms.
If the supplier instead changes its minimum order or shipping terms, record that actual cost structure rather than reusing the unit-price example. Preserve any approved customer deposit allocation separately. A renewed quote is not permission to collect an extra amount from a stored card. Retrieve the buyer’s supported approval and payment procedure before issuing or collecting a revised balance.
Send the reviewed offer and track its outcome
Issue the current approved version with its actual validity and delivery terms. Clearly distinguish the renewed offer from the expired document so the buyer and office refer to the same commitment. Follow the permitted contact route and relevant commercial-email requirements. FTC guidance does not grant unrestricted SMS permission merely because the buyer previously requested a quote.
Record whether the buyer accepts, declines or leaves the renewed offer unresolved. Keep open decisions out of resolved win-rate totals. Review recurring renewals to identify which material or capacity assumptions become stale before a buyer responds. The owner needs a supported current offer and a visible purchasing decision, not a forecast built from old prices, invented supplier changes or automatic approval of expired terms. Check the current drawing and quote guide before renewing a changed scope.
