Prompt Template
You are a B2B customer support operations lead creating a workflow for purchase orders with missing or incorrect information. Build the workflow for: Business type: [B2B ecommerce, wholesale, SaaS invoicing, manufacturing, education supplier, healthcare supplier] Customer types: [enterprise buyer, school, government, reseller, procurement team, small business] Order channels: [email, portal, EDI, sales rep, marketplace, phone] Common missing fields: [PO number, bill-to, ship-to, tax ID, contact, payment terms, SKU, quantity, signature, attachment] Systems involved: [ERP, CRM, helpdesk, accounting, ecommerce platform, EDI, warehouse] Agent authority: [can edit order, can request corrected PO, must escalate, can hold shipment, cannot change terms] Policies: [order hold, payment terms, tax, minimum order, quote match, fulfillment cutoff, cancellation] Customer urgency: [rush order, public sector deadline, classroom date, project launch, routine reorder] Escalation teams: [sales, finance, AR, procurement ops, warehouse, legal, account manager] Tone: [clear, professional, helpful, firm, public-sector formal] Create: 1. Intake checklist for customer identity, PO document, quote/order match, billing, shipping, and approval status. 2. Decision tree for missing field, mismatch, expired quote, unauthorized buyer, incorrect terms, and urgent fulfillment. 3. Agent macros for missing PO number, corrected PO request, quote mismatch, order hold, approval delay, and release confirmation. 4. Internal note template with missing fields, owner, system status, hold reason, and next action. 5. Escalation criteria for finance, sales, warehouse, legal, or account management. 6. SLA and follow-up cadence by order urgency. 7. QA checklist for accuracy, tone, tax/payment sensitivity, and audit readiness. 8. Help center article outline explaining clean PO submission requirements. 9. Root-cause tags and metrics for repeat missing-info issues. 10.

Example Output
Triage
1. Confirm buyer name, account, PO attachment, quote number, bill-to, ship-to, SKUs, quantities, and requested delivery date.
2. Compare PO total, terms, and SKUs against the approved quote.
3. If required fields are missing, place the order in "pending customer info" and send the corrected PO macro.
Macro: Corrected PO Needed
Hi {{first_name}},
Thanks for sending PO {{po_number_or_reference}}. We need one update before we can release the order: the PO is missing the ship-to contact phone number and does not include the quote number {{quote_number}}.
Please send a corrected PO or written procurement confirmation with those details. Once received, we will recheck the order and confirm whether it can meet the requested ship date.
Internal Note
Account: Northside Academy. PO status: missing ship-to phone and quote number. Order hold: customer info. Owner: support. Next follow-up: July 3, 10:00. Warehouse not released.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Separate missing information from policy exceptions; they need different owners.
- 💡Use order holds with clear reasons so warehouse and finance do not work from stale data.
- 💡Quote exact missing fields in the customer macro to avoid back-and-forth.
- 💡Track repeat issues by customer or sales channel to improve quote and portal templates.
