Toimitusohjeissa

Toimitusohjeissa is a Finnish term referring to the delivery instructions or guidelines that accompany the delivery of goods or services. The phrase is used in procurement, logistics, and project documentation to indicate the specific requirements that apply to a particular shipment or delivery event.

Typical content found in toimitusohjeissa includes the scope of delivery (which items, quantities, serial or batch numbers), preferred delivery time and place, transport and packaging requirements, labeling and handling instructions, and the documents that must accompany the shipment (such as packing lists, invoices, certificates, or import papers). It also covers contact information for the recipient and carrier, notification procedures upon arrival, and acceptance criteria or inspection procedures. Compliance with relevant standards, safety regulations, and any environmental or security considerations may be specified, as well as penalties for non-compliance or late delivery.

In practice, toimitusohjeissa are often attached to purchase orders or contracts as a separate section or attachment, providing a concrete reference for logisticians, suppliers, and warehouse staff. They interact with terms of delivery, incoterms, and carrier arrangements, and may be updated for project-specific needs or supplier changes. Clear delivery instructions support predictable deliveries, traceability, and quality control, contributing to smoother operations and reliable supplier performance.
