Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic blanket B-P authorises twenty units. Released call-offs C-1 and C-2 use eight and six; their receipt progress does not restore call-off authority. A proposed C-3 asks for seven and exceeds the remaining six. A draft call-off is not a release until its release record exists.
| Call-off | State | Units | Authority effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| C-1 | Released | 8 | Use 8 |
| C-2 | Released | 6 | Use 6 |
| C-3 | Proposed | 7 | Would exceed remaining 6 by 1 |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Read the blanket cap and released call-off register.
- Subtract released quantities from the approved cap.
- Hold an excessive call-off or obtain a separate cap change.
An unresolved cancelled call-off does not restore authority until its release reversal is recorded under the agreed rule.
If C-3 is revised to six, what unused blanket quantity remains after release?
Show the worked answer
Zero: 20 − 8 − 6 − 6 = 0. This says nothing about how many units have arrived.
The unit cap is synthetic purchasing authority, not inventory availability or payment entitlement.
