Quick answer
Start from the venue, not the furniture list
For cancellation terms, make date bands + retained amount + postponement option visible in the plan before quantities or supplier scope are approved.
Details to settle first
- Decision anchor: date bands + retained amount + postponement option.
- Mark the cancellation terms assumptions directly on the floor plan or quote brief.
- Quantity, access and timing changes should route through a single named approver.
