What does a delivery schedule adjustment look like as environment state?
A distributor moves staged deliveries after a depot closure, and invoicing milestones, stock reservations and customer commitments shift with them, showing the linked state a task pack can carry.
A wholesale distributor holds order ORD-7714 for a retail chain: four staged deliveries, DEL-1 to DEL-4, each to a different store group, with an invoice milestone tied to each delivery.
The regional depot that was due to fulfil DEL-2 and DEL-3 closes for a week. A dispatcher, or the agent acting as one, is asked to rebuild the schedule.
The starting state includes the four delivery lines with quantities and windows, stock reservations RSV-310 and RSV-311 at the closed depot, a customer clause allowing one rescheduling without penalty, and invoice milestones INV-M2 and INV-M3 triggered on delivery.
The correct action moves DEL-2 and DEL-3 to a second depot, releases the old reservations, creates new ones, and shifts both invoice milestones to follow the new dates. It also checks the penalty-free clause and records that it has now been used.
If the agent changes only the dates, stock stays reserved at a closed site, invoices are raised before goods arrive, and a second rescheduling request would wrongly be treated as penalty-free.
**What it teaches:** a task pack can carry quantities, locations, billing triggers and contract clauses together. The grader checks that every linked record moved with the delivery and that the clause counter changed.
Delivery schedules show that this workflow is not only about money: the same structure carries quantities, locations and billing milestones.
