The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

I need a production order created for finished good FG-413 for Customer Acme Co., quantity 5,000 units, required delivery 2026-08-21. Use plant PL01, BOM version B1, routing R-210, and link to sales order SO-9981. Check that component reservations exist, pricing condition record PR-311 is applied, and that availability check passes before saving. Send the order number to Jenna in planning and copy procurement for missing components.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I create this production order for FG-413, make the approval easy: show forecasted stock on hand and committed reservations at the top, surface any missing components and their lead times, display the routing lead time and planned start/finish dates, and flag any pricing or costing deviations from standard cost. Highlight the single change that would make the planner approve now.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Planner asked me to convert the urgent customer call into a production order but I can't tell if components will arrive.

I just got a request from Tom in sales to create an urgent production order for FG-413 to meet SO-9981 for 2026-08-21. I can set the BOM and routing, but I do not know whether the key component COMP-77 has confirmed deliveries or expedited purchase orders. I am afraid creating the order will block inventory planning or create phantom reservations. What is the likely state of availability and the safest next step so we do not miss the customer date or overcommit stock?

We keep creating orders that later stall for missing parts and cause late deliveries.

Over the last six months we repeatedly create production orders that later stop because a critical component was not reserved or purchased in time, and planning shifts into firefight mode. I do not have visibility into supplier confirmations at order creation and procurement often learns of shortages late. What habit or simple new checklist should I adopt at order creation so the planner, procurement lead Sonia, and I stop overpromising and reduce order stoppages?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
