  Partial deliveries that have not been accounted for correctly.
  
  
  
  Incomplete or Incorrect Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the purchase order, goods receipt, or invoice that leads to discrepancies.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If goods are received and invoiced at different times, it may lead to temporary mismatches.
