The four moments

  1. A straightforward order stays straightforward.

    Northgate knows what it needs. Dana enters the order and follows the ordinary permitted path. A quotation can be useful when a sale needs one; this direct order does not invent a mandatory one.

  2. The right person sees the decision.

    The customer asks for a discount beyond Dana's illustrated authority. Maya sees the request and the context around it. The proposed revision is not treated as already accepted, and the warehouse can see the hold and its next appropriate task.

  3. The work moves forward. The facts stay connected.

    Once the revision is accepted, the order continues. Picking, shipping, invoicing and posting stay identifiable events. Each person sees the consequences relevant to their responsibility.

  4. A return does not have to become a mystery.

    Ten units are accepted; one is refused, with its reason and custody recorded. The credit follows the accepted quantity and the original invoice. The earlier history stays explainable rather than being quietly rewritten.

That was one order. The difference is not how many screens appeared. It is that each team followed its own work without creating a different version of what happened.
