I'm not sure I'm understanding your question...
Speaking ASA:
A live ball appeal can be made at any time the ball is live. If the defense tags the proper base and clearly appeals a specific runner missing that base, the call can be made at any time (8-7-G and RS #1). You should hesitate slightly to see if the runner will realize their mistake, then make the call. Just don't make it too obvious.
However, it should be noted that in this situation, make sure the team does not push her back towards the plate to tag it. At that point, it's a dead ball, out, run is removed (8-7-E).
There are also circumstances under which the runner may not return to touch HP if they missed it. If they've left the field of play (entering the dugout) or if a runner behind them scores, they're out of luck (RS #1).

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
