Description
Return approval capacity under a pending-commitment policy.
Administrative records encode delegated authority, invoice lines, reimbursement bases and supplied policy limits. Literal matches and amount allocations can reconcile asserted records while actual authority, eligibility, rights and accounting treatment depend on verified documents and applicable rules.
Return approval capacity under a pending-commitment policy.
When to use this tool
Use Approval Limit Remaining Capacity when checking the stated administrative authority, invoice or expense convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter limit, approved, pending, countPending. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read remaining, countedCommitment. Use the output convention below.
Return approval capacity under a pending-commitment policy. Require limit/approved/pending >= 0; countedCommitment = approved+(countPending ? pending : 0), remaining = limit-counted.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| limit | Limit | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| approved | Approved | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| pending | Pending | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| countPending | Count Pending | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| remaining | Budget minus use under the stated direction, retaining negative deficits where allowed. | Required. Finite number. |
| countedCommitment | Counted Commitment | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative remaining capacity is reported; actual authorization, currency/period and legal approval policy are not verified.
- 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
Review the governing policy, authorization and financial records; involve the appropriate administrative, financial or legal professional for actual rights and payment decisions.
