# Material Order Build Standard **Spec:** AIP-BS-MATERIAL-ORDER · **Version:** 2026-09-26 · **Canonical:** https://aipathway.com.au/explore-ai/material-order-build-standard Open specification: turning a job's material list into purchase orders per supplier. Lines from the job by catalogue code, stock on hand checked and reserved first, the supplier's catalogue as the only source of a price, one order per job and supplier written once with an id back, a threshold and an approved-supplier list that need a named person's release, lead time as data, delivery matched back line by line, variances as a queue, no silent substitution. Free to implement, with a conformance checklist. ## Read the standard first The full specification is in `reference/material-order.md` in this skill. Read it before writing code. It is about 3,000 words and it is the whole job: the checks in order, the objects with their fields, what must never be automated, and a pass test. For the current version, fetch https://aipathway.com.au/explore-ai/material-order-build-standard.md. This copy is 2026-09-26. The checks are also structured data, so you do not have to infer a test plan from the prose: https://aipathway.com.au/explore-ai/material-order-build-standard/checks.json gives each check a stable id, the ports it observes, what to inject and what to assert. `npx @aipathway/conformance show material-order-build-standard` prints them and comes with a stub and a runner, so a build can be driven through tho
