Source contract and expected records

This is an original, fully synthetic mapping example. Inputs are plain, acyclic JSON-shaped records with the fields shown; the canonical shape and rejection codes belong to this example. Adapt the contract before using a different source.

The original record declares a currency label and mixed entries of kind item or charge. Item entries supply sku and nonnegative safe whole units; charge entries supply description and nonnegative safe whole amountUnits. amountUnits uses the source’s declared accounting unit, with no implicit minor-unit conversion. Split into items and charges, rejecting incomplete entries.

Run the local transformation

Run the complete example as a JavaScript module in Node.js. It contains the pure mapping function, all three inputs and literal expected outputs; assertions stop on a mismatch. A rejected case returns ok=false with an error code, rather than a partial canonical record.

Complete function and executable cases
import assert from 'node:assert/strict';

function itemChargeSplit(i){
  const fail=error=>({ok:false,error});if(!i||typeof i.currency!=='string'||!i.currency||!Array.isArray(i.entries))return fail('ENTRY_SHAPE');
  const items=[],charges=[];
  for(const e of i.entries){
    if(!e)return fail('ENTRY_KIND');
    if(e.kind==='item'){
      if(typeof e.sku!=='string'||!e.sku||!Number.isSafeInteger(e.units)||e.units<0)return fail('ITEM_LINE');items.push({sku:e.sku,units:e.units});
    }else if(e.kind==='charge'){
      if(typeof e.description!=='string'||!e.description||!Number.isSafeInteger(e.amountUnits)||e.amountUnits<0)return fail('CHARGE_LINE');charges.push({description:e.description,amountUnits:e.amountUnits});

Work through the boundary

Does the delivery charge of 10 add ten units to item A?

Show the worked answer

No. A remains units=2. The delivery row becomes a separate charge with amountUnits=10 and the currency label is retained. No payment or stock change is performed.
