Approval records the independent decision and approved date. The request carries its real order reference and Ordered state only after the supplier handoff is persisted. Supplier acknowledgement remains a separate external event.

Receiving Officer records actual accepted quantity and accepted date on the selected purchase line. The remaining requested quantity does not become accepted scope simply because it was included in the original order.

The receipt action rejects over-receipt unless an authorized change is supplied. Rehearse the supporting authorization and quantity basis during setup before using that path.

Finance Officer matches the supplier invoice reference to unused accepted scope. The action hands off only the reviewed eligible amount and must not consume the same accepted portion again through a repeated request.
