# Credit Memo Application Consistency Check

## Inputs
The credit memo listing, open invoices and the customer correspondence.

## Workflow
1. List credit memos with amounts and customers.
2. Match each memo to the invoice it should offset.
3. Flag unapplied memos with no note and any double application.
4. Return the check without applying credits.

## Output contract
Memo | customer | amount | applied to | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional month: 10 credit memos; 7 apply to open invoices, 2 sit unapplied with no note and 1 was applied twice, doubling a 4,800 credit. Flag 3 memos.

## Review gates
Re-check the customer correspondence before applying anything. Applications are proposed for review, never posted by this check.
