Changed demand and a wrong posted effect need different operational actions. The supervisor first identifies what was authorized, what remains held and what already changed the lot balance. The case evidence should explain which supported path resolves the discrepancy.
Inventory Supervisor opens stock requests, linked stock reservations and stock movements. Compare requested units with the physical evidence and operation results. Retain the earlier decision rationale before deciding the correction.
Inventory Supervisor authorizes the quantity correction or cancellation through the supported workflow. Held reservations are released so their free inventory is restored. An approved cancellation can move the request to Cancelled; it does not establish that a posted effect has been reversed.
Inventory Supervisor runs the reversal workflow when the original posted movement needs compensation. The workflow posts a compensating stock movement, corrects the lot balance and keeps the original immutable. The compensation retains its original movement reference; repeat calls return the existing compensation.
Inventory Supervisor checks the new balance and supported reconciliation result. Auditor follows the original movement, compensation and request history without expecting the earlier record to disappear. Record remaining discrepancies before treating the case as complete.
