Receipt is not the same as a usable commitment
01 · The problem
Receipt is not the same as a usable commitment.
A supplier can say they received the order without confirming the requested quantity or date.
One line may be confirmed while another line on the same PO is ignored.
A changed date can sit in a PDF or email while the order still appears clean in the system used by the rest of the plant.
02 · How it works
A focused skill with a clear job and a clear stopping point.
Project Foundry does not receive a vague instruction to automate the department. This workflow defines how the work starts, which evidence it must use, what it may do, and when a person must decide.
Step 01
Recognize the acknowledgment
Read the message or attachment and identify which PO lines, quantities, and dates the supplier actually confirmed.
Step 02
Compare the commitment
Place the supplier confirmation beside the original order values and preserve both sources.
Step 03
Pass clean work quietly
A complete match advances without adding noise to the buyer's day.
Step 04
Prepare the exception
Missing, partial, late, or conflicting confirmations become a precise decision or one consolidated follow-up draft.
03 · What it connects to
The skill is only as useful as the evidence it can reach.
Each connection has a specific purpose. Project Foundry preserves the source and its age instead of turning a collection of systems into one unsupported answer.
