Helios One · buyer workflow
Medical device manufacturing supplier on-time delivery tracking
The decision for this workflow
Measure receipt timing against the promise date while reporting document holds beside, rather than inside, the timing rate. 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.
Receipt-and-document OTD scorecard
This page’s working artifact is a Receipt-and-document 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 eight-line catheter-component sample
| Field | Fictional value |
|---|---|
| Confirmed on time | 5 receipt lines |
| Partial | 1 line received short by 40 units |
| Late | 1 line arrived four days late |
| Document hold | 1 line received, record review pending |
The useful decision is measure receipt timing against the promise date while reporting document holds beside, rather than inside, the timing rate. 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 shows the chosen denominator and separate exception counts from the rows entered for the review. 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
The fictional score does not indicate regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, or device safety. 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
Can a partial receipt count as on time?
The example records its date separately and keeps the short quantity visible. Your approved procedure should decide how partials affect the metric.
