Final payment under Agreement No. 14
Draft · 0 of 5 reviewed
Task: management must decide on the payment on 11 September. Document cut-off: 10 September 2026.
01. Decision finding
The documents do not provide a consistent basis for approving the final payment.
The certificate lists 60 of 100 units while declaring full performance. Final payment depends on full delivery. Before approving RUB 1,200,000, establish the evidence for the remaining 40 units or a change in terms. [2][4][5][1][3]
02. What the documents say
The certificate lists 60 accepted units worth RUB 1,440,000. [1]
Awaiting reviewThe contract covers 100 units for RUB 2,400,000. [2]
Awaiting reviewThe same certificate states that the supplier's obligations have been performed in full. [3]
Awaiting reviewThe remaining 50% is due after full delivery and signature of the acceptance certificate. [4]
Awaiting reviewThe extract records a RUB 1,200,000 advance debit. Other payments have not been checked. [5]
Awaiting review03. Material discrepancy
60 units listed, yet obligations marked as performed in full
The contract and certificate leave a 40-unit difference. Contract value: (100 − 60) × 24,000 = RUB 960,000. This is the value of the quantity unsupported by this set, not established loss or a permitted withholding amount. [2][4][1][3]
Decision impact: The full-performance statement alone is insufficient to treat the final payment condition as satisfied without further review.
Possible explanations, not yet verified
- Another acceptance certificate covering 40 units is missing from the set.
- A separate addendum changed the quantity or payment terms.
- The quantity or closing statement in the certificate contains an error.
05. Scope and limitations
Scope: three fictional documents, four physical pages. Authenticity and signatory authority have not been verified.
Missing evidence in this set does not establish non-delivery. This memo does not determine the legal right to withhold or defer payment.
This example was prepared in advance to review the output format. Automated analysis of new documents still needs an independent test.
