Receivables subledger tie-out: open customer count · case 03

Customers with credit balances are not counted as open.

Case contract

x = {'control': [[day, amount]], 'sub': {customer: [[day, amount]]}, 'as_of': day}. Only rows dated on or before as_of count. The subledger total nets every customer balance, including credit (negative) balances. Return {'control', 'subledger', 'difference': control - subledger, 'credit_balances': customers with negative balance sorted by name, 'open_customers': count of nonzero balances}.

Why this case matters

Ledger software must keep debits equal to credits and apply normal-balance, period and cutoff rules exactly; small sign or boundary slips silently misstate financial statements.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: open customer count	`{"control": 250, "credit_balances": ["bolt"], "difference": -420, "open_customers": 2, "subledger": 670}`	`{"control": 250, "credit_balances": ["bolt"], "difference": -420, "open_customers": 3, "subledger": 670}`	Failed
