Helios One · buyer workflow
Automotive manufacturing supplier on-time delivery tracking
The decision for this workflow
Score each release line against its first committed date, then show revised dates as a change signal. The page uses sample/fictional data so a team can challenge the rule before sharing a real export. It is aimed at a buyer deciding what to ask, what to hold, and what to leave for a human.
Release-level OTD scorecard
This page’s working artifact is a Release-level OTD scorecard. It is intentionally narrower than a full ERP rollout: the buyer supplies a reviewed export or copies a supplier message, then checks the proposed state before anything is sent or written back.
Worked fictional example: Fictional four-release brake-hardware sample
| Field | Fictional value |
|---|---|
| On time | 18 of 24 confirmed lines |
| Date changed | 3 lines moved before due date |
| Late | 2 lines missed the first promise |
| Unknown | 1 line has no acknowledgment |
The useful decision is score each release line against its first committed date, then show revised dates as a change signal. In a real review, record the source file, message date, reviewer, and any redaction before treating a value as operational.
What Helios does directly
Helios calculates the displayed example from supplied rows and preserves the date-change state for a buyer conversation. Helios keeps the distinction between a draft, an extracted value, and a buyer-approved decision visible. A supplier reply is not sent automatically from this page, and no ERP record is changed by this artifact.
Evidence boundary
This is a transparent sample definition, not a customer KPI, industry target, or automotive certification. The three sources below provide industry or vendor context; they do not establish a Helios customer result, certification, or live integration. The p1-stores status is the controlling integration boundary for this wave: 0 live-tested integrations.
Use the related workflow links to prepare the minimum export, draft an acknowledgment, or review a supplier reply. Keep real purchase orders and controlled documents in the approved environment.

Frequently asked questions
Why retain an earlier promise date?
It makes schedule changes visible. A revised date can be operationally useful while still showing that the first commitment changed.
