Overview

Perform bounded exact-decimal linear expense accrual and return the calculation with an audit receipt. Closed inputs, fixed precision, deterministic ordering, and typed failures apply.

You receive exact totals and a compact audit receipt for accounting.linear_expense_accrual.

Reliability

Closed shapes and precision bounds fail before expensive work. DECIMAL_INVALID means a malformed or over-limit decimal; correct it. CONTROL_INVALID means duplicate or malformed rows; correct their ids and shape. CURRENCY_MISMATCH means the currency is unsupported or inconsistent; use one supported currency. TOLERANCE_INVALID means tolerance is negative or malformed; provide a non-negative decimal. ALLOCATION_INVALID means weights are negative, duplicated, or unusable; correct them. ZERO_DENOMINATOR means the weight sum or divisor is zero; provide a positive divisor. ROUNDING_INVALID means mode, scale, or quantization is invalid; use a published mode and scale. BASIS_INVALID means elapsed and total basis are inconsistent; keep elapsed in range. PERIOD_INVALID means the count is outside 1 through 1,200; correct it. ITEM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED means a bounded count was exceeded; split the request. This guidance applies to accounting.linear_expense_accrual.

Context footprint

The result replaces repeated prompt arithmetic with one reproducible receipt for accounting.linear_expense_accrual. A successful call costs 1 execution credit.

When to use it

When a total expense must be recognized linearly over elapsed versus total basis days.

When the expense is already a cash payment, or the basis days are still a calendar to infer.
