    4. Number of warehousing receipts which the buyer is planning to take.

  8. If the randomly selected position was registered in a client account, the Member is required to execute the procedure of selecting the client to which such receipt will be transferred. The regulations governing the provision of clearing services by a Clearing Member shall include procedures for allocating delivery receipts to clients.

If the amount paid by the buyer into the account of the Clearing House is lower than that indicated in the invoice, the Clearing House shall check if the amount blocked in respect of margin requirement in this very opened contract is sufficient to cover the balance. If it is the case, the Clearing House closes the position out and provides the Clearing Member with a warehousing receipt. If it is not the case, the Clearing House commences the execution of the relevant contingency procedures.
