Changes to delivery dates
-
Join the order lines to the supplier’s update
Bring shipment schedules from an SFTP directory together with the supplier’s emails. Extract order references, line identifiers, quantities, units and promised dates into a table your planners can use.
Use supplier coordination to compare the new promise with the earlier date and assign any question that needs confirming.
-
Follow up on a changed promise
Keep the earlier date and revised update available when a planner needs to understand a change. Assign someone to confirm the new promise and record the supplier’s answer.
Notify the team about a changed delivery date and keep the supporting update available. Planning and supplier teams use that information to investigate the delay and decide the response.
Updates for planning, customers and ERP
Choose the fields each team or system receives
Give procurement cost and terms, planning the order lines and dates, and customers the selected delivery update. Create a separate shared view for each audience.
For ERP or downstream consumers, use sharing and delivery and agree the order identifiers, units and fields the receiver expects. The receiver remains responsible for transactions and system updates.
