Measure commitments

Where this helps

A supplier can look reliable if a PO is counted as delivered when only one line arrives. Sourcing needs a scorecard based on the agreed date and complete accepted quantities.


What Rectangle connects

Connect ERP purchase-order line commitments to posted receipts, shortages, rejections, and inbound tracking. Define on-time and in-full explicitly, preserve the original commitment date, and identify customer-approved schedule changes. Include sample size and separate supplier release issues from recorded transport exceptions.

Alder Metals: 50 eligible PO lines

  • 42 arrived on time · 46 arrived in full
  • 40 met both conditions → OTIF 80%
  • OTIF uses the intersection, not an average of the two rates.

Which materials and causes explain Alder’s misses?

AL-6061 is the priority for the supplier review. Six missed commitments involve that alloy.

  • Four late supplier releases.
  • Two documented transit delays.
  • Two short receipts remain open in the wider scorecard.

Alder Metals achieved 80% OTIF: 40 of 50 PO lines met both timing and quantity requirements. Show the four approved date changes separately from the original commitments.


From answer to action

The scorecard supports a focused supplier discussion with evidence by material and receipt. Buyers can review a corrective-action plan or alternate sourcing option. A low score with only a few receipts is treated differently from a consistent pattern over a large sample.
