SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Late purchase orders stall customer deliveries, and vague "any update?" emails get vague answers. This Skill structures supplier chasing so every message asks for a committed ship date and quantity, and escalation happens on a defined clock rather than on frustration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured chase content: Every follow-up includes the PO number, items and quantities ordered, the promised date, days late, and the customer orders being blocked. - Commitment-based questioning: Asks "What date will this ship, and what quantity?" plus "Is any of it available now?" to surface partial shipments that clear urgent orders. - Timed escalation ladder: Day 1 late goes to the buyer contact, day 3 to their manager with the original request attached, day 7 to sourcing with quantified customer impact. - Use Case: A PO for 500 units is four days late and blocking two customer orders. Use this Skill to draft the day-3 escalation to the supplier's manager with the original request attached and the customer impact stated. ## Quick Start Use the supplier chase skill to draft a follow-up for PO-4821, which is three days late and blocking two customer orders.

FAQPage Schema
How do I chase a late purchase order from a supplier?▼

Chase a late PO by asking one direct question: what date will this ship, and what quantity. Include the PO number, items and quantities, the promised date, days late, and which customer orders are blocked so the supplier can respond with a plan.

What should a supplier escalation email include?▼

A supplier escalation email should include the PO number, what was ordered and how many, the promised date, how many days late it is, and the customer impact quantified. Attach the original request when escalating to the contact's manager.

When should I escalate a late supplier order?▼

Escalate on a fixed clock: day 1 late goes to the buyer contact, day 3 to their manager with the original request attached, and day 7 to sourcing with customer impact quantified. Announce the next step and its timing at each stage.

How do I get a partial shipment from a late supplier?▼

Ask directly whether any of the order is available now. Suppliers rarely offer partial shipments unprompted, but a partial delivery often clears the most urgent customer orders while the remainder is still in production.

What mistakes should I avoid when chasing suppliers?▼

Never accept "next week" without a specific date, and never promise a customer a delivery date the supplier has not committed to in writing. Vague status requests produce vague answers, so always ask for a date and a quantity.
