What problem does it solve? When a supplier's EDI 855 order acknowledgment confirms a PO date later than promised, the shortage stays invisible until it becomes a line-down weeks later. This Skill runs the forward peg no one runs by hand the day the slip lands, sizes the exposure by week and by customer, and prices the reschedule options so the cheap-options window is used instead of missed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Forward pegging and validation: Validates each EDI 855 (fresh, not duplicate, a real schedule change) and pegs the slipped receipt forward through SAP MRP to affected work orders and customer commitments, classifying each demand as hard or soft. - Exposure sizing and option pricing: Computes time-phased cover, nets the slip against safety stock and soft-date slack, and prices each path (accept and re-time, partial expedite, split, pull-in escalation, or hold and absorb) with explicit penalty exposure. - Gated execution: Stages the revised PO in SAP and the build-sequence change in Kinaxis as drafts, holding every committing write and outbound supplier notification for buyer approval. - Use Case: A supplier confirms a critical component three weeks late on a 5,000-unit PO. The Skill pegs forward, finds only a 900-unit slice truly exposed against a penalty-bearing customer commit, and recommends a partial expedite at +$95K instead of a +$180K full dual-source. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze a supplier confirmation slip on a PO and price the reschedule options for the affected customer commitments.
