What would an equipment finance state with a data mismatch look like?

A regional logistics operator has an approved fleet finance facility. The approval, APP-3310, covers four prime movers for AUD 1,120,000 over 48 months. The approved asset schedule lists four serial numbers.

A task pack could seed the environment like this:

- `approvals`: APP-3310 with status approved and a condition for a supplier invoice. - `asset_register`: four rows, ASSET-8841 to ASSET-8844, where the serial number on ASSET-8843 differs from the approved schedule by one transposed digit. - `documents`: the supplier invoice, which matches the asset register but not the approval. - `policies`: a rule that the security schedule must match the approved schedule before the facility is activated.

A finance operations officer is asked to book the facility. The correct path is to create the draft FAC-6104, link three matching assets, hold the fourth, and raise an exception to the credit officer with ASSET-8843 and both serial numbers cited. Activating all four assets would register security over an asset the approval never described, which creates a defect the servicing team inherits.

**What it teaches:** the environment needs the discrepancy in the data, a rule that makes it matter, and an exception route that scores as a correct outcome.
