Investigate missing or delayed information

Start with one record and a time

A missing value can reflect a different period, an incomplete source record, a delayed handoff, a rejected update or an access restriction. Following one redacted example helps narrow the cause without changing several systems at once.

1. Confirm the expected record in its responsible source system.
2. Note its identifier, status and relevant time zone.
3. Check the destination and the last known handoff or verification result.

• A dashboard refresh cannot supply information that the source or connection has not provided.
• Avoid creating duplicate records to make a missing item appear.

Compare the right things

Use the same environment, identifier, status definition and reporting period. A test record and a live record, or an order date and a payment date, can produce different views without indicating a lost transaction.

• Source and destination identifiers.
• The field expected to change and the accepted mapping.
• Any visible rejection, permission or provider error.

Send a reproducible example

Use an authorized private support channel for business references. Redact personal details and credentials from screenshots and logs.

• What you expected and what actually appeared.
• The source, destination, environment and time of the example.
• The last successful result or a similar record that works.
