Follow up on third-party orders
An order log for title, flood, and verification vendors that records the promised date and receipt. The vendor order followup record keeps this point dated for the next reviewer.
Why this control matters
The third-party orders control begins with a written purpose. Record the order and receipt date, then compare the record with that purpose rather than the busiest queue. The vendor order followup record keeps this point dated for the next reviewer.
What to check first
Start with one test: compare the log with the vendor message. Keep the case that failed because a named mismatch is stronger than a general complaint about pipeline quality. The vendor order followup record keeps this point dated for the next reviewer.
Handle the exceptions
Log the exception when you see an order received without a review. Record why the rule missed it and whether the fix belongs in the source, owner, or checklist. The vendor order followup record keeps this point dated for the next reviewer.
Review the evidence
Put the third-party orders review on a short weekly calendar. Read the oldest item, the newest exception, and one corrected file; leave a dated decision for each. The vendor order followup record keeps this point dated for the next reviewer.
