Correct scope or reverse a stock effect

Release changed commitments or compensate a posted movement while preserving the evidence.

Step by step

  1. Identify the saved result Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor examines the request, reservations and movements. Determine whether the issue concerns an unexecuted commitment or a quantity effect already posted.

    • Distinguish commitment from posted effect
    • Updates Stock requests, Stock reservations, Stock movements
  2. Correct authorized scope Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor uses the correction action to change the authorized request quantity or cancel eligible scope. Held reservations are released so free stock reflects the changed commitment.

    • Change quantity or cancel and release holds
    • Updates Stock requests, Stock reservations
  3. Reverse a posted movement Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor uses the reversal action when a saved quantity effect needs correction. It posts a compensating movement linked to the immutable original and corrects the lot balance.

    • Post linked compensation and correct balance
    • Updates Stock movements, Stock lots
  4. Check the compensation Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor inspects the original and compensating records together. A repeat reversal must return the existing compensating movement rather than apply another correction.

    • Inspect the existing reversal result
    • Updates Stock movements, Operation receipts
  5. Verify the final evidence Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor reconciles the resulting scope and movements through the supported procedure. Auditor follows both the original decision and the correction without changing either.

    • Run reconciliation and inspect retained decision history
    • Updates Stock requests, Stock movements, Review decisions, Operation receipts

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Wrong correction path. Inspect whether the stock effect has already posted before changing the request or asking for a reversal.
  • Lost history. Preserve the original movement and decision so another shift can explain the correction.
  • Availability assumed. Inspect the released reservation and free quantity after cancellation before promising stock to another request.
