ADM.10:4.2 - Align the claims before comparing them

Recover what each record asserts and what evidence supports actual performance. Establish event identity and participant correspondence through ADM.4 when needed. Use SIE.4–6 for a genuine unresolved source-meaning or identity question.

Match quantities, units, direction, gross or net basis, allocation, observation time and coverage where those distinctions can change the conclusion. A debit from the payer and a credit to the recipient may be different observations of a transfer. Two identical amounts may instead belong to two different transfers.

OPS.15 supplies comparison of observations for matching subjects and bases when that operational comparison is needed. It does not determine the obligation’s fulfillment rule. Once the claims are adequately aligned, compare them directly without constructing an unnecessary shared database.
