# Costco Issues in Jira, Costco SIP

> Open Jira tickets referencing a Costco PO or chargeback. Ageing tickets = unrecovered chargebacks + un-resolved ranging risk. How to read it, why it matter...

**Metrics type:** [Cross-Platform Metrics](/nerve-centre/overview#metrics-types-explained)  •  **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

> Open Jira tickets referencing a Costco PO or chargeback. Ageing tickets = unrecovered chargebacks + un-resolved ranging risk.

## At a glance

> Cross-platform alert list of open Jira tickets referencing a Costco PO number or carrying a Costco-related label (`costco_chargeback`, `costco_delisting`, `costco_asn_late`, `costco_buyer_call`). Ageing tickets in this queue map to unrecovered chargeback dollars, un-pursued buyer-conversation opportunities for delisting reversals, and unresolved EDI / data-quality issues. The card is the operational triage view that confirms each Costco-side incident has a Jira owner and is being worked; gaps between Nerve Centre alerts and Jira tickets indicate triage failure.

|                              |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **What it counts**           | `COUNT(jira_issues WHERE status NOT IN (Done, Cancelled) AND (po_number IN issue_summary OR labels CONTAINS costco_*))`. Tickets are deduplicated by issue key; a ticket referencing 3 PO numbers counts once.                                                                                                                           |
| **API endpoint**             | Jira REST API `GET /rest/api/3/search` with JQL: `project = OPS AND status != Done AND (summary ~ "PO 4500*" OR labels in (costco_chargeback, costco_delisting, costco_asn_late, costco_buyer_call))`. The card joins back to Costco SIP PO records by parsing PO numbers out of issue summaries and matching against the SIP datastore. |
| **PO-number recognition**    | Regex matches Costco's standard PO format (typically `4500xxxxxx`, 10 digits starting with 4500). Adjust the regex at the integration filter layer if your Costco trading partner uses a different PO format (Costco Canada SIP and Business Center programs sometimes differ).                                                          |
| **Label-based recognition**  | Tickets without a recognisable PO in the summary but tagged with a `costco_*` label are also counted. This catches buyer-conversation tickets, compliance investigations, and data-quality issues that do not reference a specific PO.                                                                                                   |
| **Cancellations**            | Cancelled tickets (Jira status "Cancelled" or resolution "Won't Do") excluded; only actively-open tickets count. Closed tickets ("Done") excluded.                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| **Currency / value**         | The card is a count; for the dollar exposure pair with [Chargeback Risk (30d)](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/costco-sip/chargeback-risk).                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **FBA / FBM**                | Not applicable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Ageing buckets**           | The card displays a sorted alert list with each ticket's age (`now - created_at`); the alert fires on tickets >7 days old without status update because that is the threshold past which buyer-conversation reversal probability drops sharply and chargeback-recovery probability drops below 50 percent.                               |
| **Time window**              | `RT` (real-time, refreshed on every Jira issue webhook).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Alert trigger**            | `>3 open >7d`. Triggers when more than 3 tickets are simultaneously open with no status update for more than 7 days.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| **Cross-platform only flag** | `only_when: has_jira_sibling`. Card hides if no Jira connector is integrated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Roles**                    | owner, operations                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Costco SIP data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

The same US household-goods supplier on Costco SIP plus a connected Jira instance for operations triage. Reading taken at 09:00 PT on 11 Mar 26.

| Jira key                   | Summary                                           | Label                 | Age (days) | Last status update | Estimated dollar exposure       |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ---------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| OPS-4123                   | Costco PO 4500987612 missing ASN, chargeback risk | `costco_asn_late`     | 3          | 09 Mar 16:42       | USD 750                         |
| OPS-4118                   | Costco buyer call re paper-towel range refresh    | `costco_buyer_call`   | 5          | 06 Mar 11:20       | USD 92,000 weekly shelf revenue |
| OPS-4099                   | Costco PO 4500985201 chargeback assessed USD 480  | `costco_chargeback`   | 8          | 03 Mar 14:10       | USD 480                         |
| OPS-4087                   | Glass storage 8-piece set delisted, recovery plan | `costco_delisting`    | 12         | 27 Feb 09:55       | USD 12,000 weekly shelf revenue |
| OPS-4054                   | Item-master GTIN drift across 7 SKUs              | `costco_data_quality` | 18         | 21 Feb 14:00       | n/a (preventative)              |
| **Total open (this card)** | **5 tickets, 3 over 7-day threshold**             |                       |            |                    |                                 |

The card surfaces **5 tickets**; alert at `>3 open >7d` is firing because 3 of the 5 are older than 7 days. Five things to notice:

1. **The 12-day-old delisting ticket is the highest-priority neglected item.** USD 12,000 weekly shelf revenue per delisting × \~50 weeks = USD 600k annual exposure. The buyer-conversation window for reactivation is roughly 2 weeks; this ticket has crossed the threshold and the reactivation probability has dropped from \~30 percent to \~10 percent. Escalate today; document the supplier's reactivation proposal and request a buyer call within the next 5 working days.
2. **The 18-day-old GTIN-drift ticket is preventative work.** No immediate dollar exposure, but unresolved field drift accumulates and eventually triggers `gtin_invalid` delistings. The 18-day age suggests the ticket has been deprioritised; either schedule the data-quality work or close the ticket as "won't do" with explicit acceptance of the future-delisting risk.
3. **The 8-day-old chargeback ticket is the recoverable cash.** USD 480 chargeback can be disputed within 60 days of assessment; the dispute window is open and the supplier has 52 days remaining. The 7-day-old age means the chargeback is no longer fresh in the buyer's mind; assemble the evidence (delivered timestamps, BOL, 856 ASN proof) and file the dispute this week.
4. **The 5-day-old buyer-call ticket is approaching the alert threshold.** USD 92,000 weekly is the highest dollar exposure on the card; if the buyer-call has not happened by day 7, the supplier risks the full exposure crystallising. Confirm the buyer call is on the calendar.
5. **The 3-day-old missing-ASN ticket is on schedule.** Most missing-ASN tickets resolve within 3 to 5 days as the operations team pursues the missing 856 file or files the chargeback dispute. This ticket is healthy.

## Sibling cards merchants should reference together

The Jira escalation queue is the operational triage view over Costco-side incidents. Pair with these:

| [Items Delisted This Week](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/costco-sip/items-delisted-this-week)       | Source of `costco_delisting` tickets.       | Each delisting should generate a buyer-conversation ticket; gap = missed reversal opportunity.                           |
| [Chargeback Risk (30d)](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/costco-sip/chargeback-risk)                   | Dollar form of `costco_chargeback` tickets. | The card's count plus chargeback risk dollars gives both workload and exposure.                                          |
| [Item Delisting Burst (24h)](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/costco-sip/item-delisting-burst)         | Source of high-priority buyer-call tickets. | Bursts should generate a single high-priority ticket aggregating all affected items.                                     |

| Cross-connector: [`jira.tracker_open_issues`](/nerve-centre/jira/tracker_open_issues)         | The full Jira open-tickets view.            | This card is the Costco-filtered subset of the parent Jira card; the parent shows operational load beyond Costco.        |
| Cross-connector: [`jira.tracker_velocity`](/nerve-centre/jira/tracker_velocity)               | Team throughput.                            | Rising Costco-ticket count without team velocity increase = work queue exceeding capacity; staffing review.              |
| Cross-connector: [`shipbob.sb_orders_open`](/nerve-centre/shipbob/sb_orders_open)             | Where ShipBob is the fulfilment route.      | Open ShipBob orders past SLA should appear here as `costco_asn_late` tickets if the SLA gap is escalated.                |

## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in Jira:**

[Atlassian Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) → run JQL: `project = OPS AND status != Done AND (summary ~ "PO 4500*" OR labels in (costco_chargeback, costco_delisting, costco_asn_late, costco_buyer_call, costco_data_quality)) ORDER BY created ASC`. Save as a board view "Costco Open" for daily standup. The card's count should match Jira's count exactly; gaps mean either the JQL has drifted from the card's filter or Jira webhook delivery to Vortex IQ is lagging.

**Costco does not have an equivalent dashboard.**

This card is the supplier's internal cross-platform join; Costco's supplier portal has no view of internal Jira tickets. There is nothing to reconcile against on the Costco side.

**Why our number may legitimately differ from Jira:**

| Reason                    | Direction                    | Why                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **JQL filter drift**      | Either                       | Card uses fixed regex / labels; team-managed Jira boards may use different filters that catch more or fewer tickets.                                                                                                |
| **PO-number recognition** | Card may miss tickets        | Card's regex matches `4500xxxxxx` PO format; tickets that reference Costco POs in a non-standard format (truncated, manually-typed) are missed. Add explicit `costco_*` label on those tickets to ensure inclusion. |
| **Webhook lag**           | Ours sometimes higher        | Jira webhooks deliver to Vortex IQ on a 1 to 5 minute cadence; recently-closed tickets may briefly count on the card.                                                                                               |
| **Project scope**         | Either                       | Card looks at the configured Jira project (default `OPS`); if Costco-related tickets live in a different project (e.g. `WHOLESALE`, `B2B`), update the integration filter.                                          |
| **Sub-task counting**     | Card-level depends on config | By default the card counts parent issues only; sub-tasks are visible in drill-down but not double-counted.                                                                                                          |

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**The card shows 5 tickets but I see 12 in our Jira board. Why the gap?**
Most likely 7 of the 12 either lack a Costco PO number in the summary or do not carry a `costco_*` label. The card uses fixed-pattern recognition; team-managed boards often use broader filters. Either tighten the Jira board filter to match the card, or update the supplier's ticket-creation template to always include the relevant label. The healthier pattern is to standardise on labels because PO-number presence in the summary is fragile.

**My team uses Linear / ClickUp / Asana, not Jira. Does this card work?**
The default integration is Jira; the same pattern works for Linear and ClickUp via the equivalent integrations. The card label says "Issues in Jira" because Jira is the most common operations-tooling pattern for SIP suppliers; rename via integration display label if your team uses something else.

**Why does the card count tickets older than 7 days but the alert fires on the threshold of more than 3?**
Two thresholds. The card displays every open Costco-related ticket regardless of age; the ageing-bucket sort highlights the older ones. The alert fires only when the count of >7-day-old tickets exceeds 3, which signals a triage backlog rather than a single neglected item. Adjust either threshold at the integration level if your operations cadence differs.

**A Jira ticket was closed but is still appearing on the card. Why?**
Webhook lag, typically clears within 1 to 5 minutes. If persistent, force a refresh of the integration; if still persistent, check the Jira ticket actually has status `Done` (not "In Review" or "Closed" which some Jira workflows treat differently). The card excludes only tickets in Jira-equivalent-of-Done states.

**Costco assessed a new chargeback and I want to track it. How do I get it onto the card?**
Two routes. (1) **Auto-creation**: configure the Vortex IQ alert framework to auto-create a Jira ticket when [Chargeback Risk (30d)](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/costco-sip/chargeback-risk) increases; the auto-creation template includes the `costco_chargeback` label and the affected PO numbers in the summary. (2) **Manual creation**: open a Jira ticket with the PO number in the summary or the `costco_chargeback` label; the card picks it up on the next webhook refresh.

**The 18-day-old GTIN-drift ticket is correctly low-priority. Can I exclude preventative work from the alert?**
Yes. Configure the alert to exclude specific labels (e.g. `costco_data_quality` and `costco_buyer_call` excluded; `costco_chargeback`, `costco_asn_late`, `costco_delisting` included). The card itself will continue to track all five categories; only the alert behaviour changes. Most ops teams alert on the dollar-impact categories and treat preventative work as a sprint-planning input, not a P1 alert.

**My Jira project is `WHOLESALE`, not `OPS`. Will the card find tickets?**
Yes if you configure the integration correctly. The default JQL targets `project = OPS`; update to `project = WHOLESALE` (or whatever applies) at the integration filter layer. The card's behaviour does not change otherwise.

**Multiple Jira projects host Costco-related tickets. Which does the card read?**
Configure the JQL with `project IN (OPS, WHOLESALE, FULFILMENT)` to span multiple projects. The card aggregates across all configured projects; the drill-down shows the project for each row.

**Should I get paged when the alert fires?**
Yes for ticket-count thresholds (e.g. >5 open >7d), no for single-ticket aging (the daily alert is enough). Most ops teams page the operations director when the count crosses 5 simultaneous >7-day tickets because that signals a structural triage backlog. Single-ticket aging is handled in daily standup.

**The card aggregates buyer-call tickets and chargeback tickets in one count. Should they be split?**
Reasonable for higher-stakes operations. Configure two separate cards via the integration filter: "Costco Open Chargebacks" filtered to `costco_chargeback` (P1 dollar-recovery) and "Costco Open Buyer Conversations" filtered to `costco_buyer_call` + `costco_delisting` (P2 commercial). The default single-card view is appropriate for smaller suppliers; larger suppliers split the views.

**Does the card see Jira sub-tasks separately?**
By default no; only parent issues are counted. A parent issue with 5 sub-tasks counts as 1. Drill-down lists sub-tasks under the parent for context. Configure to count sub-tasks separately if your workflow assigns work at the sub-task level.
