When a debtor owes several obligations of the same kind to the same creditor, if the prestation tendered as performance is not sufficient to extinguish them, the person performing may at the time of the prestation designate the obligation to which such performance shall be appropriated.

The appropriation of a performance is made by an expression of intention to the other party.
