Prepare the purchasing decision
Synthetic service PO P-S orders six setup tasks. The supplier report claims all six completed, but the assigned receiver accepts four and leaves two for correction. Invoice I-S claims six tasks. A service receipt record can support four for matching; the report alone cannot create acceptance for the other two.
| Evidence | Task units | Authority / status | Matching effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier completion report | 6 reported | Supplier statement | Not itself acceptance |
| Service receipt S-R | 4 accepted | Named receiver confirms | Support 4 |
| Correction list | 2 pending | Receiver review pending | Do not match yet |
Complete the recorded outcome
- Read ordered deliverables and the named receiver’s criteria.
- Locate accepted task evidence distinct from supplier reports.
- Match accepted tasks and track correction tasks separately.
A purchasing approval for six tasks is not evidence that those tasks were delivered or accepted.
How many claimed tasks lack accepted receipt support?

Two: 6 − 4. They remain correction work, not accepted service or an assumed payment obligation.
Acceptance criteria and task counts are fictional; no legal service-acceptance rule is asserted.
