Follow an accepted quote into the receiving system and reconcile each operation against real evidence.
Quote Specialist requests the handoff for an explicit Accepted quote revision. The handoff checks the accepted state, expected revision and preserved lines before contacting the configured order connection.
The operation uses a stable key for that quote and revision. A downstream acknowledgement supplies the real external reference. Without a configured connection, the receipt remains Pending until an actual outcome can be established.
Auditor reviews Pending, Failed and needs-review receipts. Compare each recorded claim with the quote, its lines and the review decisions. Keep the failure reason specific enough for the responsible person to investigate.
Quote Specialist raises a correction for executed accepted scope. Pricing Reviewer approves the compensating action before it proceeds, preserving the original commercial and operation evidence.
The internal reconciliation action checks Pending, Failed and needs-review receipts. It records Completed when effects have real support and routes discrepancies for review with an explanation. Auditor reads the outcome and traces its evidence to the local and downstream records.
