FDM.1:0 - Use this when

Use this pattern when someone relies on a balance, agreement, score or financial label without being able to say whose position it describes and under which terms. Begin with the party and the financial question the record is being used to answer.

The pattern governs an account of a financial position: the relevant right, obligation or other financial interest of an identified party under stated conditions and at a relevant time. It returns the warranted position and its relation to the records and resources involved.

Use an already adequate account directly. A cosmetic change to a report does not require recovering an undisputed position from the beginning.
