  Update Document: If the goods receipt is indeed for a lesser quantity, ensure that the relevant documents (like the purchase order) are updated to reflect this change. This may involve creating a new document or adjusting the existing one.
  Check for Errors in Previous Steps: Review previous steps in the process to ensure that there were no errors that could have led to this mismatch.
