contracts.resolve_usage_review

Record the business’s decision and reason for selected contract usage attention items, amendment price checks or unmatched vendor lines. Changes no bill or posting.

What it does

Read the contract through subjects get, then select attention.usageReview.items by reason, activityKey, periodKey and sourceFactId. Or read usage_estimates and select pending unmatchedLines by reconciliationId and lineKey. For an amendment price check, select priceDifferences by activityKey, basis (amendment_credit or amendment_charge), latest, billed, bills and the full standing list from attention.priceDiffers. A change to any selected snapshot value requires reading attention again.

This acknowledges every unresolved amount in that selected check, including older standing bills, without changing money or matching tolerance. Select 1 to 50 items, checks and lines in total. Record the business’s decision and reason; only selected items and price checks leave attention and selected lines leave the pending unmatched report. Reuse the same selections in a later command to supersede an earlier decision, retaining every decision and caller in event history with predecessor CIDs.

An unmatched-line selection may give accountedBy: { cid } referencing the event that recorded its accounting; a replacement supplies its own optional reference. Record or correct bills separately with contracts.record or contracts.reconcile_usage.

Before you send it

An authorized OAuth connection may call it, including a headless client. Effective membership, application grant and token permissions still apply. Describe contracts.resolve_usage_review through GET /v1/catalog/commands/{name} before acting.

This command does not accept source_document_id in its envelope. Any input evidence requirements remain as documented below.

Inputs

Put these fields inside the envelope’s input object. The outer envelope names the command, a stable idempotency_key and effective_at; request and recovery rules explain those separately. Use exact minor-unit integer strings for monetary fields. Take existing IDs from prior reads or command results; choose a new identity only where the command asks for one.

Required means required within its containing object; an optional parent can be omitted.

After acceptance

When the command emits events, its documented effects and receipt are recorded in the command transaction. The response returns commandId, replayed, the command-specific result below and emitted events with their IDs and CIDs. A command is not automatically a cash movement or revenue recognition: use the behavior above to determine what this command records.

Inspect result and the affected records or reports before continuing. Save returned identifiers for later calls. Fetch GET /v1/commands/{id} with commandId to recover the accepted receipt; retry the same intent with the same idempotency key if the response was lost. Some commands can succeed with events: [] and return a transient result and commandId without persisting a receipt. A lookup of that ID can return null; retain the returned result and verify the affected record. Retrying can re-evaluate the current state rather than replay a stored result. A domain no_change is a separate success outcome with no persisted receipt.

Result fields

Required means required within its containing object; an optional parent can be omitted.
