Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic invoice I-P covers three accepted units on P-1/L1 at HKD 10 and two on P-2/L3 at HKD 20. Both source receipts are verified and have no earlier matching allocation. The invoice total is HKD 70. Match each line to its own PO; linking the entire invoice to P-1 loses the P-2 evidence.
| Invoice line | PO / receipt | Units × HKD rate | HKD subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| I-P/A | P-1/L1 / R-1 | 3 × 10 | 30 |
| I-P/B | P-2/L3 / R-2 | 2 × 20 | 40 |
| I-P total | Both source lines | 5 units across two lines | 70 |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Identify all PO and receipt references on the invoice.
- Match quantity and price per original line.
- Reconcile subtotals without replacing line links with one header reference.
A missing PO reference leaves that line unresolved even if the invoice total equals a known order amount.
What supported quantity belongs to P-2?
Show the worked answer
Two units, with HKD 40 subtotal. P-1’s three units cannot account for the entire five-unit invoice.
Amounts omit tax, discounts and currency conversion. The fixture is a document-linking exercise, not invoice approval.
