Power window switches wholesale: build an OE-led buying list
A distributor’s guide to separating window-switch references, connector counts and required quantities, with three actual SHIRE catalog records.
A wholesale request for “Scania window switches” can leave the proposed item unclear. Start with the complete reference on the requested part, then associate one candidate SAP item with that requirement. SAP-S200 and SAP-S201 are both window-switch records, but the supplied notes distinguish 6p from 8p and their OE references differ. SAP-R200 also carries an 8P note but is a separate Renault catalog record. None of these observations approves a substitution.
Separate reference families before counting units
Keep each original OE in its own line and distinguish a requested reference from the supplier’s proposed SKU. Record the source of the number, such as the existing part label or your purchasing file. Two numbers in one catalog record are references to discuss, not permission to merge two customers’ requirements. Preserve leading zeros and letter suffixes as text in a spreadsheet. Add requested quantities only after each line has an identifiable requirement.
Ask for the connector evidence that matters
Provide a rear connector photograph and a front view showing the controls; remove unrelated personal information. Ask for the exact proposed item’s connector and mounting information where needed. A 6p/8p remark is a useful distinction to raise, not a wiring diagram. Even the same pin count does not establish pin functions, connector keying, electrical rating or vehicle compatibility. Keep those checks pending until reliable documentation and the responsible technical person confirm them.
Keep trial demand apart from replenishment demand
Tell the supplier whether each quantity is for sample evaluation, an initial stock order or replenishment of an already approved item. Ask separately about availability, minimum quantities, packing and sample costs; the catalog does not set these terms. Save any approved item and packaging revision rather than relying on an old photograph. Selecting an example below adds it to an inquiry, not to a confirmed order.
Send a quotation request that can be checked
For each line supply original OE, proposed SAP SKU, quantity, known connector note, destination and unresolved questions. Ask the quotation to repeat the exact item rather than a brand-only description. Before approval, compare the reply with your line list and flag changed references. The receiving team should use the final agreed list, not the first search result. Installation and electrical validation belong to qualified personnel.
