ADM.10:5.2 - Compare debit, credit and fee before deciding fulfillment

In a different case, P’s account shows a 1,000-unit debit, while Q’s account shows a 990-unit credit and a separate fee claim. Before inferring an unpaid balance, the handler establishes the event correspondence, quantity bases and actual fee allocation.

If the supplied terms require a net 1,000 credit to Q, the 990 credit alone does not establish full performance of that condition. If a different applicable term assigns the fee differently, its competent interpretation determines the institutional consequence. The two record totals cannot choose the term.

Likewise, a 1,000-unit receipt allocated to another invoice cannot automatically close I. The handler needs the actual allocation basis and authority before applying the receipt to this obligation.
