Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic R-C originally records eight accepted units. An approved evidence correction C-R reduces that accepted record by two, giving six; the physical-custody investigation is already resolved elsewhere. Invoice I-C claims eight. The matching process must use the corrected six rather than the old snapshot. This does not create a supplier credit document or payment reversal.
| Record | Quantity | Evidence status | Matching basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original R-C | 8 | Historical original | Retain but superseded for quantity |
| Correction C-R | −2 | Approved correction | 8 − 2 = 6 |
| Invoice I-C | 8 claimed | No revised invoice yet | 6 supported; 2 unmatched |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Verify the correction references the same receipt line.
- Apply its net quantity to the matching register.
- Reopen affected document differences while retaining original and correction references.
A proposed correction without approval remains unresolved; do not reduce the receipt merely because an invoice is disputed.
What is the invoice quantity gap after the approved correction?
Show the worked answer
Two units: 8 claimed − 6 accepted. Match support is six, not eight and not ten.
A correction affects the document evidence; stock movement, credit preparation and payment decisions retain their own records.
