An owner wants a complete order but may accept a partial shipment. The assistant must not give a complete state for a partial reply.

This article is from Righthand. The test inputs and example result are illustrative. No test in this article has an executed result.

## Prepare the test case

Supply an order for ten items. Tell the teammate supplier to supply six as the available quantity.

A Righthand has its own phone number and email address, with text, email, phone, and Slack communication. [Introduction](https://docs.righthand.ai/introduction).

The initial test uses supplied information and the Righthand's own email. For direct account work, a separate available connection operation is necessary. [Connections](https://docs.righthand.ai/guides/adding-your-first-connection).

## Give the task instructions

> Get the teammate supplier's available quantity.
>
> Compare it with the supplied order.
>
> Send the remaining quantity to the owner.
>
> Send the owner the result in this conversation.
>
> Use Pacific time for the supplied deadline.

Identify any permitted outward action explicitly. With **Ask**, the instruction or approval must identify its recipient and task. Connection tool permissions are another required control. [Communications Policy](https://docs.righthand.ai/security/external-communications).

## Examine an illustrative result

> Six of ten items are available. Four remain without a confirmed supply date.

The owner selects partial shipment or another permitted arrangement.

## The acceptance conditions

The result must keep the ten-item order and four-item gap.

Compare the result with the original case information. Examine the teammate's received message when contact is part of the task. A send record and recipient-visible receipt are different observations.

A complete-delivery claim from six available items fails the test.

If the result fails an acceptance condition, stop that responsibility at this scope. Examine [Activity](https://docs.righthand.ai/guides/working-with-your-righthand) for questions, account problems, or the actual communication.

Give the missing source or owner decision before another attempt. If sending has an uncertain result, establish what occurred before repeating it.

## Keep a small test record

Record the task instructions, source information, received result, and owner decision. Record the configured communication policy and applicable connection permissions.

## Select the next task

A direct record, existing app function, or human teammate can be sufficient when no continuing conversation or coordination is necessary. A Righthand is an alternative when the owner wants responsibility for the next steps and decision handoff.
