Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic matching policy permits line-level review. L1 has five accepted units at the agreed HKD 10 and invoices HKD 50. L2 has two accepted units but invoices HKD 12 against HKD 10. L3 adds unapproved HKD 5 freight. Only L1 is fully matched; quantities on L2 do not resolve price, and neither cleared line authorises payment.
| Line | Supported basis | Claim | Matching state |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 5 × 10 = 50 | 50 | Matched |
| L2 | 2 × 10 = 20 | 2 × 12 = 24 | Price difference 4 |
| L3 | No approved extra freight | 5 | Scope decision missing |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Compare quantity, rate and charge scope per line.
- Record matched results alongside each unresolved condition.
- Route disputed lines to their relevant decision without erasing L1 evidence.
If the actual workflow requires whole-document clearance, do not release a partial invoice from this worksheet alone.
How many lines and units are fully matched?
Show the worked answer
One line and five units, L1. L2’s two units are quantity-supported but the line is not fully matched.
Keep matching state separate from invoice approval, document execution and payment.
