Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic buyer return RT-P sends three identified units to the supplier. The supplier accepts two for a credit-document request and disputes one. Buyer request CR-P for the two is drafted; no supplier credit document has been issued and no payment is recorded. Physical return cannot establish a completed financial document.
| Stage | Units | Evidence | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical return | 3 | Return dispatch RT-P | Recorded |
| Supplier acceptance | 2 accepted / 1 disputed | Supplier reply S-RT | Partial basis for request |
| Supplier credit document | 0 evidenced | CR-P draft only | Not issued |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Match the supplier response to the identified returned units.
- Prepare the supported request and retain the disputed unit separately.
- Follow up actual supplier document issue and match its lines when received.
A buyer’s approved request is not a supplier-issued credit note or proof of money returned.
How many units have an issued supplier credit document in this fixture?
Show the worked answer
Zero. Two support preparing a request, one remains disputed, and document issue is still pending.
The example makes no return-right, accounting or refund promise; document and payment stages must remain distinguishable.
