Reasons for Delayed Status (1 of 3)Reasons for Delayed Status (1 of 3)
Awaiting an order modification•The Delayed status e-mail should indicate the nature of the required mod•Some typical mod requirements:
- Customer request to wait for a mod to change some item on the order- Contract Holder information (address, name, etc) is incorrect- The item is end of life and a replacement is needed
Price cannot be increased
Awaiting availability of funds•Contract Holder is not obligated to fulfill and order if the order indicates
that funds are not yet available•Often resolved through a simple mod or e-mail confirmation
![Page 26: The Customer Service Model Dawn Canty-Saunders & Marcus Fedeli](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649dc75503460f94abb53b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
