What does a failed handover look like during a delivery exception?

A delivery exception exposes how a locally complete task can leave another team unable to act on a changed commitment.

A depot coordinator marks shipment `SHIP-4821` as awaiting redelivery after a failed delivery attempt. The transport team creates case `CASE-0412` for customer service, attaching the driver's delivery note and the current address. The shipment moves from active transport work to customer contact required.

The delivery note says that access requires a booking with the receiving site's facilities team. A separate dispatch comment records a commitment to preserve the original delivery charge. Customer service can arrange a new date, but it cannot authorise that charge treatment.

The receiving agent books another delivery and closes the contact case. The billing team then applies a redelivery fee because the charge commitment never reached its queue. Customer contact succeeded, yet the business obligation was lost between teams.

A generated scenario pack could reproduce these linked records and make the fee appear only after the booking action. It teaches evaluators to look beyond the immediate recipient: some handovers require a second dependent transfer. Success means preserving the commitment, identifying the billing dependency and leaving each outstanding action with an accountable role.

Test whether agents carry forward obligations that sit outside the receiving team's usual process.
