How does HublerX detect a supplier delay — does the buyer need to manually flag it?

HublerX monitors PO delivery dates in the ERP continuously. When a buyer updates a PO confirmation date, the change is detected immediately and the downstream impact is mapped automatically. Where suppliers send EDI delivery confirmations, HublerX can read the updated ETA directly — without the buyer needing to manually update the ERP first.

Can HublerX suggest which alternate supplier to use?

HublerX surfaces the alternate supplier history from the ERP — approved vendors for the material, their last delivery date, lead time, and price variance — so the buyer has the context needed to make a fast decision. The final sourcing decision remains with the buyer.

What if the delay affects multiple work orders across multiple lines?

HublerX maps the impact across all affected work orders simultaneously — ranked by urgency, line, and customer commitment. Where a single material delay affects multiple WOs, the replanning recommendations prioritise by the tightest customer delivery window first.

Does this workflow connect to the production replanning workflow?

Yes. Where a supplier delay cannot be resolved through alternate sourcing, the impact flows directly into the production replanning workflow — HublerX surfaces the affected WOs with rescheduling options and updates the production schedule once the planner approves the revised plan.

Supplier Delay Response Planning

When a supplier confirms a delivery delay, HublerX maps the full production and dispatch impact immediately — surfacing which work orders are at risk, which shipments are affected, and what the replanning options are before the buyer has ended the call.
