Zip request error low value purchase routed to full sourcing review

TL;DR

Fix this in Zip by acting on the exact problem first: in Zip, correct the amount the routing rule compares against the sourcing threshold by using the request total in the request currency, because a converted or tax inclusive total pushes small purchases over a threshold they are under in reality, resubmit a test low value request, and confirm it takes the light approval path. Do not rerun the same operation unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one request type or category first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Zip request error low value purchase routed to full sourcing review

Use this when

• The operation in Zip fails with this exact problem: Zip request error low value purchase routed to full sourcing review.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Work described as an intake flow or a low value purchasing process is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with an analytic or policy judgement in the result. That is an owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one request type or category in Zip and record the full problem text plus the record, group or period involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: in Zip, correct the amount the routing rule compares against the sourcing threshold by using the request total in the request currency, because a converted or tax inclusive total pushes small purchases over a threshold they are under in reality, resubmit a test low value request, and confirm it takes the light approval path. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring items, meaning request types sharing the same routing rules, because this class of failure rarely affects only one scope. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Zip on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the Zip routing rules, the request record and the sourcing review queue, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the run log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Routing compares a stored amount with a threshold, and if the stored amount is the converted or tax inclusive figure, small purchases cross thresholds that were set against the net local amount.

Edge cases

• The underlying data, mapping or rules changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other scopes. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared rule, filter or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The source of truth for this check is the Zip routing rules, the request record and the sourcing review queue; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Zip at current versions, plus the ERP, card feed or procurement system the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
