Treat the supplier feed as evidence for a purchasing decision, not an automatic customer promise. Define who reviews lead-time changes and communicates a revised date for affected project stages. The integration should preserve the accepted customer instruction and expose changes that require action, especially when early components and finish items depend on different suppliers.
Understand the decision
A supplier portal changes a fixture’s expected availability after the contractor books installation. A nightly update may reach purchasing but never reach the showroom. The review should follow that information into a named decision and customer communication rather than stopping at successful field synchronization.
Work through the requirements
- Identify projects affected by the supplier update
- Assign review and communication ownership
- Record the accepted revised commitment
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Supplier availability snapshot | Shows the evidence and its date |
| Affected project list | Connects changed supply to customer obligations |
| Promise revision | Records the communicated decision |
What would a passing test show?

Watch for this failure
A refreshed supplier date is not a confirmed installation commitment. Avoid copying uncertain availability directly into customer promises without a review rule, particularly where contractors have arranged labour or access around the earlier expectation.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
