# Engineering-to-Purchasing Handoff for Tool Sourcing

Before purchasing contacts a supplier, engineering can confirm the application, workpiece, required result, machine interface, expected operating conditions and any unacceptable alternatives. Purchasing can then add quantity, destination and commercial-document needs.

Use the [AXIMET Tools official website](https://www.aximetools.com/) to provide the combined requirement and request confirmation for the appropriate model.

Keeping technical and commercial fields in one handoff record helps prevent important application details from being lost during sourcing.
