Late Shipment Report: every order past its ship-by date, across every channel

The prompt

Which orders are past their ship-by date right now?

This is a canned search in InfiPlex: orders due on or before yesterday that are not fully shipped.

Five orders to rescue and 23 left to ship today: that is the warehouse priority list before the first carrier pickup. The morning unshipped orders agent sends this list automatically.

What is in the report

What the InfiPlex late shipment report shows

Each row is one order that needs action, with enough context to act without opening it.

Follow-up prompts that reshape the late shipment report

The first answer is a starting point. Each follow-up below is one more sentence in the same conversation, and the AI agent rebuilds the report from InfiPlex data each time.

• “Group the past due orders by channel.”Shows which marketplace is carrying the most late orders.
• “For each late order, why did it route to that warehouse?”Reads the routing record InfiPlex wrote when the order was allocated.
• “Which late orders are waiting on stock?”Checks current inventory for each line on the late orders.
• “Add a note to each late order saying it was escalated today.”A write the agent previews before it runs, on a key that allows it.

Where the numbers come from

The InfiPlex data behind the late shipment report

The ship-by searches are canned in InfiPlex and return in one call each.

• order_search pre_built ship_by_date_past_due_listOrders due on or before yesterday and not fully shipped
• order_search pre_built ship_by_date countsDue today, tomorrow, in two days, and in three days, total and shipped
• order_search ship_by_end_dateA custom ship-by window for any other cutoff
• order_warehouse_routing_explanation_getWhy an order went to the warehouse it did

Every tool and its inputs are listed in the MCP tools reference. The same data is available as JSON through the InfiPlex REST API for teams that prefer a script.

Run it on a schedule

Schedule the late shipment report daily or weekly

Run it before the first pickup and again mid-afternoon, while there is still time to ship. A scheduled AI agent or a short script runs the same prompt from cron and delivers the result by email, Slack, or shared folder. The scheduled custom reports guide covers both routes, and the daily inventory by warehouse report agent is a worked example to copy.
