A clear reference basket

One selected8m Mouliné at£1.50,one selected Pearl at£2 and one selected Aida cut at£5 total£8.50 merchandise. Those are unlike material types in one purchase ledger,not a complete kit or a common unit-rate ranking. If the current actual tickets differ,enter those confirmed amounts rather than relying on a dated observation.

Exact full credit reaches zero

A confirmed merchandise-only£8.50 credit against£8.50 leaves£0 merchandise payable. In a hypothetical arithmetic test,delivery£4.99 and additional tax£1.25 remain as£6.24 charges. Those test inputs are not claimed craft-store fees. A material credit must not silently remove delivery or add VAT again when the ticket already includes it.

One penny over is unresolved

A£8.51 credit against that base is rejected rather than creating a negative bill. Blank or negative prices,exponent notation,fractions of a penny and values beyond the supported range are also rejected. Quantities must be whole nonnegative retail units. Blank charges remain unknown and prevent a final total.

Use meaningful decimal checks

The tool converts supported GBP entries to integer pence before multiplying and subtracting. Checks include£47.99 ×2 =£95.98 and£0.10 ×3 =£0.30,each allowing an exact full credit to zero. Unit-rate displays are rounded separately;the£0.1875-per-metre Mouliné reference is not rounded to19p before calculating the whole-skein basket.

Keep the purchase calculation bounded

The ledger supports complete offer prices and declared thread-metre references while refusing fabric/thread cross-unit comparisons. It does not reserve stock,verify the Pearl put-up,approve a design or perform a craft test. Actual received labels,local checkout,three approved merchants and independent technical/content review remain pending. No remote order,payment or deployment is performed.
