  Review Related Documents: Ensure that you are referencing the correct delivery or sales order. Check for any recent changes or updates that may have affected the quantities.
  Check for Partial Deliveries: If there have been partial deliveries, ensure that you are aware of how much has already been delivered and what remains.
  Consult with Inventory Management: If you are unsure about stock levels or delivery quantities, consult with your inventory management team to get accurate information.
