New email
Me, Acme Metals
Hi Matt,
Quality issue with the drawing. PO on hold until resolved.
Everything a production buyer deals with
- Production always coming to you asking where parts are.
- The truth of where your parts are lives inside your email.
- Spreadsheets are only updated when you’re around to update them.
- Missed emails cause production delays.
“Wait, where's that part?”
“Did you reach out yet?”
To-do
- call Acme re: 412345
- chase shipment status
- update status sheet
- 3rd shift: urgent
- release hold notice?

Me, Jim at Acme Metals
Hi Jim,
Just circling back on PO 412345. We had Thursday as the ship date but haven't heard an update. Could you confirm you're still on track, or let me know if anything's shifted?
Thanks,
Sarah
