Records needed for this question
Order creation timestamp, original request and approval history.
How to investigate
Separate proof of delivery from proof of prior authorization and route the control gap to its owner.
An illustrative review decision
An urgent purchase can be delivered before the formal order is raised. Preserve that chronology and distinguish the control exception from the separate question of whether the invoiced goods were received.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
Matching an invoice to a later-created order can conceal a process exception.
The result to retain
A timeline showing commitment, authorization and receipt.
