Common workflow delays + best escalation points

If AP says ‘it’s in the queue’, ask which payment run or release date applies.
If they promise a date and miss it, reply the day after.
Don’t wait more than 2 business days after approval without a concrete release date.
If there’s repeat stalling, ask to cc an AP/finance manager.
Keep thread history short and factual.

FAQ

Always ask for the specific release date, not just ‘scheduled’. Dates drive action.
