Connect supplier dates to the orders depending on them
The synthetic supplier changes PO-Q’s confirmed arrival from 12 October to 16 October. Ten units are undelivered. O-Q1 needs six by 14 October and O-Q2 needs four by 18 October. The sample planner requires one day after arrival for receiving and picking, with no other constraints supplied. Dates describe this exercise, not carrier or provider promises.
| Record | Need / revised date | Comparison | Next decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| PO-Q | 10 arrive 16 October | Earliest planned readiness 17 October | Retain supplier reply REP-Q |
| O-Q1 | 6 due 14 October | 17 is after 14 | Order owner reviews alternative or date |
| O-Q2 | 4 due 18 October | 17 is before 18 | Retain plan subject to actual receipt |
Review affected promises without silently changing them
- Record revised supplier confirmation
- Identify dependent order lines
- Apply supplied handling interval
- Flag O-Q1 for decision
- Record each order owner’s revised plan
An unconfirmed revised date stays uncertain; do not convert “around next week” into a precise customer delivery promise.
The planning result identifies O-Q1 as affected under the supplied one-day rule. It does not prove O-Q2 will arrive on time: actual receipt and other delivery work remain to be checked. Retain the original 12 October commitment for supplier follow-up instead of overwriting it.
Which order requires a changed plan under these inputs?

O-Q1: readiness on 17 October misses its 14 October need. O-Q2’s 18 October need is not yet contradicted by this date-only test, but remains subject to actual receipt.
