Who the factory buys glass, aluminium, hardware and consumables from, what we owe each of them and when it is due.
Gulf Float Glass: AED 28,350 due on 18 Oct, and PR-MG-26-0031 adds AED 23,730 (incl. VAT).
That takes us to AED 52,080 of our AED 60,000 credit with them. Pay the September bill on time so the 4 Oct delivery of 40 sheets of 12 mm glass is released without a hold.

Keep Gulf Float, but open a second source
Gulf Float is 17 AED a sheet cheaper and delivers on time 95% of the time. Registering Crystal Line as a back-up costs nothing and protects the TS orders if Gulf Float runs short of 12 mm.
