Scenario + Requested Action

Supplier requests new ACH / wire details before payment.

An operations agent detects a supplier email requesting new ACH/wire details before a payment run. It asks to update the vendor master record, attach the email, approve the invoice, and release payment.

What Continuum Holds Before Execution

Continuum places the request in HOLD if source provenance is weak, dual approval is absent, the dollar threshold is exceeded, or the change conflicts with finance policy.

Clearance / Routing Path

The finance controller verifies the supplier, completes the required authorization module, and clears the action. Continuum routes only the bounded vendor-record update to ERP with restricted scope and evidence attached.

Receipt + Buyer Proof

The receipt records the before-and-after evidence required for review, audit, and policy enforcement.
