## Specification

References its original invoice and is capped at that invoice's balance without an explicit override. **Distinguished from a refund and a write-off** in the UI copy and in the actions offered — they have different GL, tax, and business meanings.

## Rules this component obeys

Money is minor units, never floats. `null` is not `0` and neither is redacted. Negatives render in accounting parentheses with the parenthesis column reserved on both sides. Debit and credit are two columns. Per-currency decimal places. Polarity is explicit — up is not always good. Every figure states its period, entity, currency, basis and as-of.
