Three evidence problems need three different next steps.
MISSING: The quote leaves delivery timing undefined. Ask what starts the clock and request the answer in writing.
CONFLICTING: The sample specification and quotation disagree. Keep both sources visible and ask the issuer to reconcile them.
UNFAVORABLE: The supplier confirms a requirement cannot be met. Decide whether to revise the plan or decline the order. More documents do not automatically change that answer.
These are illustrative situations, not findings about a real supplier.
Before paying, record the issue, the next action, the person responsible and the decision deadline.
Save this checklist for your next supplier discussion.
