Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic R-31 requests twelve identical units allocated to project codes A and B. A receives seven and B five. The local request policy requires all units assigned exactly once before review. Allocation codes describe internal ownership only; no tax, expense recognition or accounting posting rule is implied.
| Allocation | Code | Units | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Line A | A | 7 | Owner A confirms |
| Line B | B | 5 | Owner B confirms |
| Request total | R-31 | 12 | 7 + 5 reconciles |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Read total units and agreed allocation codes.
- Compare each owner’s allocation with the total.
- Resolve overlap or omissions before submitting the request.
An unassigned unit is a missing decision, not an automatic allocation to the requester’s default code.
B changes from five to six while A stays seven. What fails?
Show the worked answer
7 + 6 = 13, one above the twelve-unit request. Correct the split or separately change the requested total.
An allocation revision does not by itself authorise additional purchases. Keep quantity and allocation decisions separate.
