- Yellow - milestone confirmation prompt has gone unacknowledged > 48 hours
- Green - milestone has been confirmed
- Red - purchase order is rejected

Delivery delay alerts
If you are utilizing the shipment API and tracking either ocean or air shipments. You can see a quick reason for the delay status as it pertains to the order. Besides seeing the # of days an order delivery is delayed it will also provide the end destination. To see more details of what's causing a day, click on the order.
On-time performance
Supplier performance is important and measuring their effectiveness and efficiency goes a long way in ensuring you have the right partner. Through this widget, you can see how well your supplier has performed in relation to the shipped date confirmed on the purchase order to the actual shipped date when the milestone is confirmed. We count the number of orders, the on-time percentage, the late percentage, and the avg. days late.
