In Numscript, a posting models the movement of an amount of an asset from one account to another. Postings are wrapped in a transaction to ensure that they are applied atomically.
Defining a posting
A posting is defined as followed:
Square brackets describe the asset being moved using the Formance’s Unambiguous Monetary Notation (UMN). It is composed of the asset type optionally followed by a scaling value, and the amount. In this case, the asset type is COIN
with no scaling value, and the amount is 100
.
Postings with balance
You can omit the amount of an asset in a posting and replace it with a *
. This is used when you want to move all of the assets of the accounts in the source block to the ones destination block.
Here, we are moving all of the USD/2
asset from the @order:1234
account. 10% of the @order:1234
balance is moved to the @platform:fees
account, and the remaining 90% is moved to the @merchant:5678
account.
