Keep an issued bill intact while reviewing its correction

Use a linked correction proposal rather than overwriting issued evidence.

Records and local rule

Original local rule locks issued billing records. Issued I500 is 500; evidenced intended amount is 450. Proposed correction C50 is a reduction of 50 but is not yet authorised or issued. Only an issued linked adjustment changes this local amount register.

Process the recorded case

  1. Preserve original issued reference
  2. Attach the correction evidence
  3. Route the linked proposal for authority
  4. Apply only an evidenced issued adjustment

A correct proposed amount does not authorise deletion or replacement of the original issued record.

Check the outcome

What remains in the amount register before C50 is issued?

Show the worked answer

500. Preserve the original; the proposed 50 reduction is a pending correction, not an applied one. After valid issue it would give 450 under this model.
