Check the request’s current decision
Synthetic request EXT-K asked for supplier drawings for a display layout. The owner cancelled that layout and withdrew EXT-K on Day 2. Drawings arrive on Day 4. A separate live layout uses different inputs. The late response is recorded evidence, not new authority to restart the cancelled task.
| Event | Record state | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 / EXT-K | Requested | Linked to layout L-K |
| Day 2 / CAN-K | L-K cancelled; EXT-K withdrawn | No remaining execution task |
| Day 4 / reply REP-K | Drawings arrived late | Attach to EXT-K; do not restart |
Record the reply without changing cancellation
- Identify incoming request reference
- Read current withdrawn state
- Attach late REP-K as evidence
- Retain cancelled L-K
- Seek new decision only if use is proposed
If cancellation is disputed or the request reference is unknown, investigate before assigning the drawings to live work.
The external request remains withdrawn and the cancelled layout has zero remaining execution demand. Keep the late drawings identifiable so they can be considered under a later new request without rewriting history.
Do the Day 4 drawings automatically reopen L-K?

No. EXT-K stays withdrawn and L-K cancelled. A new intended use needs a new owner decision.
