That is what i learnt from my mistake today. I had to amend an invoice qty but forgot and did the inventory control which lead to wrong amount billed to the vendor. I shouldnt had indulged myself into my collegue gossips while doing my work. I had lost control what i should do and skipped the necessary steps. Hence it is all my fault, my negligence. Now, i had to ask my boss to reverse the inventory control in order to amend the mistake. I should expect a scolding then. Haizz, a bad day indeed.

Yes, we all make mistakes sometimes. What's important is to learn from them and try not to repeat them. Hopefully, you'll gain a better understanding of how to manage your work in the future

I know it’s annoying, but even your boss must have had a mess up on occasion.

I agree with you about that principle we shouldn't be distracted at work,especially when we are doing important work,must concentrate on work.I made such a mistake before,from then on,i would ask others not to disturb me when i am working on important task.

That's an easy mistake to make. I hope your boss understands and the scolding isn't too harsh. Good luck.
