01 / THE WORK, MADE CLEAR

“Sent” is only one part of the answer.

A source can submit a file while a destination remains unavailable. A destination can receive it while the application rejects its contents. Identify the events and references your teams need to answer where the handoff stopped.

01
Keep a reference
Relate the file or message to its source and business purpose.
02
Identify delivery evidence
Agree what the protocol or destination returns after transfer.
03
Connect the response
Relate delivery to application acceptance where that response is available.

02 / THE CONNECTION THAT MATTERS

Three outcomes to distinguish.

Three outcomes to distinguish.
Context	What matters	The handoff
Submitted	The source handed off the file	Does not prove receipt
Received	The destination provided delivery evidence	Does not prove business acceptance
Accepted	The application accepted the data	Defined by the receiving process

Colleagues reviewing the information behind a business workflow — Make the next step clear.

03 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Make investigation possible across teams.

An incident can cross the partner, infrastructure and application teams. Agree which references, times and responses each team can provide. The implementation review should establish the available records, their retention and who acts when the expected evidence is missing.

A CLEARER PICTURE

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Does a delivery receipt prove the file was used?

No. A transport-level receipt and application-level acceptance describe different events.

What information helps diagnose a failure?

A file or message reference, source, destination, expected delivery window and the available response. Avoid including sensitive file contents in an initial support request.
