What happens when a handling rule changes after a shipment is planned?

A dispatch coordinator plans shipment `SHP-3184` under handling policy `POL-0041`. The booking record links to a loading manifest and a carrier instruction. A warehouse supervisor has already assigned the shipment to a loading bay, but departure has not been authorised.

A replacement policy requires a temperature indicator on relevant shipments released after its effective time. `SHP-3184` meets that condition. The coordinator updates the booking, while the loading manifest still tells the warehouse team to use the earlier packing method.

The state change is incomplete until the manifest is replaced, the indicator is recorded and the release check uses the new requirement. If an agent changes only the booking, the carrier can receive a shipment that looks compliant in one system but lacks the required preparation.

A generated scenario can expose each record and the supervisor's outstanding acknowledgement. The evaluation asks whether the agent connects the policy to the operational release point, identifies the stale instruction and obtains evidence before departure. It teaches that propagation means changing the conditions under which work proceeds, including instructions already handed to another role.
