The delay on a cargo availability advice comes from the supplier, in one of two ways:
- At the start. The supplier already knows there will be a delay and enters a later ready date
when first handling the task. - Afterwards. The supplier realises the original ready date is no longer achievable, redoes the
task and submits a new ready date. The order then runs through the remaining steps again.
Example
A supplier already knows there will be a delay on a cargo availability advice. When first handling the task, the supplier enters a later ready date to reflect that delay. The delay reason therefore comes from the supplier at the start, when the task is first handled.
