Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic R-11 and R-12 both ask for six units for demand D-1. The requesters confirm R-12 is a copied submission, not six more units. R-13 asks for four units for separate demand D-2. Keep one active D-1 request and preserve the copy link; identical item codes alone cannot establish duplicate intent.
| Request | Demand / units | Evidence | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-11 | D-1 / 6 | Original confirmed request | Retain 6 |
| R-12 | D-1 / 6 | Requester confirms copy | Close as duplicate; add 0 |
| R-13 | D-2 / 4 | Separate confirmed demand | Retain 4 |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Compare demand references and intended use.
- Obtain the requesters’ confirmation of duplication.
- Keep the surviving request and link the closed copy.
Unconfirmed similarity stays for review; do not merge two departments’ real demand.
What active quantity remains across D-1 and D-2?
Show the worked answer
Ten: 6 + 4. Counting all submissions would give sixteen and overstate demand by six.
Consolidation changes the request set, not an already issued order. Any existing order link needs its own review.
