Workday-Procure-to-Pay Exam - Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

Receipts in Workday record the quantity of goods or services that have arrived against a purchase order line, and these records sometimes contain data entry errors that need correction without disturbing the underlying purchase order. The Official Workday Pro Procure-to-Pay Guide identifies the Create Receipt Adjustment task as the correct tool for correcting an incorrect quantity that was recorded on a previously entered receipt, allowing the quantity to be revised up or down while maintaining an accurate audit trail of receiving activity. Option B is incorrect because editing the purchase order changes the ordered quantity or terms, not the quantity that was actually recorded as received. Option C is incorrect because Return to Supplier represents a physical return of goods back to the supplier and is used when goods need to be sent back, not simply to correct a recording error. Option D is incorrect because closing the PO line for receiving prevents future receipts but does nothing to correct the inaccurate quantity already recorded on the existing receipt.
