  Modifying the existing purchase order to increase the quantity.
  Creating a new purchase order if necessary.
  
  
  Check Demand Document: Review the demand document to confirm the required quantity. Ensure that it is accurate and reflects the current needs.
  Consult with Stakeholders: If there are discrepancies, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., sales, production) to understand the demand and make necessary adjustments.
