Description
Calculate supplied cooperative patronage credit.
Agribusiness accounts distinguish packages, deposits, commissions, fixed fees, moisture-normalized mass and signed credits. Minimum charges can apply at zero use, while a return-credit fee can exceed gross credit. Supplied contract terms and unit definitions do not verify transactions or legal entitlement.
Calculate supplied cooperative patronage credit.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The supplied fraction may exceed one. No actual eligibility, cooperative allocation, tax treatment, payment or entitlement is determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check original orders, invoices, weighing records and agreements. Use complete contractual, accounting and appropriate financial assessment when local package counts, settlement balances or price adjustments cannot establish an actual obligation.
