•JoeCo. recently made a relatively large sale of computers to a new customer, The Gamery. As part of the sale, the customer ordered 12 extremely fast and expensive ABC video adapters, which is not an item you regularly stock, so you would have to special order them.
•At the time for shipment of the computers per the agreement, you still hadn’t received the adapters from your vendor. Per instructions from the customer, you went ahead and shipped the computers and were to ship the video adapters separately when you received them from your supplier.

– What could JoeCo. do to protect itself in advance of this type of shipping situation happening again?
