01 Identity lock
Write methanol, CAS 67-56-1 if that is the intended identity, and the named grade. If fuel, AA and industrial grades are still competing, keep three lines instead of one blended description.
Planner desk for methanol bulk RFQs
Methanol bulk RFQ planner for specification, files and approvals
Use this planner before you send an inquiry. It turns methanol bulk into a checklist of grade, water content, package, destination, SDS/TDS/CoA and who still has to sign. It is not a carbon or ESG scorecard, not a forest scene, and not a claim that a factory is already booked.
The planner does not create a new backend field. Everything still posts through the connected form as name, company, email, phone and content. Optional budget currency and high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided preference merge at submit time if JavaScript is on.

02 Measurable cells
Assay, water content, density, flash point, acidity, ethanol, acetone and trace metals stay blank unless a reviewer owns them. A filled cell without an owner is a false acceptance criterion.
03 Package and bulk path
Choose drum, IBC, ISO tank or methanol bulk only after site equipment is known. Net kilograms per package must be stated before unit price is compared. Tank-truck windows remain supplier statements.
04 File and sample intent
SDS, TDS and CoA format are requested for the quoted product. A sample, if any, needs a named test, a reviewer and a pass or fail rule. This planner does not run the lab.
Trade-off to keep visible: a methanol bulk ISO tank can reduce drum handling, but only if UN 1230 classification, carrier booking and receiving piping are confirmed. Drums can be the slower but clearer path when the site cannot take bulk. We record both until the buyer signs.
Human sign-off still required here
Planner questions that still need a human sign-off
When chemical identity, quantity unit, US destination and at least one document request are present. Purity, water content and package can remain open; they become follow-up questions, not invented defaults.
The planner never prints a methanol savings percentage. Keep ISO-tank and drum options on the same worksheet, then compare factory wholesale quotations and total procurement cost after UN 1230, net fill and destination charges match. FREE sourcing support with an eligible benefit of up to 3% is confirmed only for qualified business buyers.
Ask the proposed supplier to restate status for the quoted product. A prior campaign, a related producer or a competitor brochure is not evidence for this RFQ.
