Purpose: to search for candidates for an unchanged task and separately agree on deviations. The structure is suitable for profile tube; the technical specifications are determined by the customer. The XLSX contains a blank form and a separate training example.

Acceptance: [parameters, documents]. Prohibited substitutions: [list]. Possible approvals: [condition, decision-maker role].
| Candidate | Source and date | Category found | Request prepared/sent | Written response | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Name] | [URL/file, date] | [What the source confirms] | [Status and date] | [File/none] | [Action, deadline] |
| Candidate | Requirement | Proposed | Response: confirmed/rejection/no response | Who decides | Decision | Basis | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Name] | [Task item] | [Answer verbatim by meaning] | [Status] | [Role] | [complies/agreed/rejected/pending] | [Document, date] | [Question, deadline] |
Approval of one deviation does not close the remaining lines. The catalog confirms the publicly described category, not the existence of a lot or suitability as a substitute.
