Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If no reply by {{ReplyByDate}}, call and request the AP/payment owner
If they give a date, confirm it back immediately and follow up if missed
If they say “processing,” ask for the specific payment release date
Don’t send multiple long emails—one short message, then a call
Don’t accept vague answers after silence
Don’t change topics; keep it about date + payment
