# Enterprise-Grade Contractor Invoicing System
## Implementation Complete βœ…
### Overview
A fully-featured, enterprise-grade invoicing system with **version tracking**, **audit logging**, **ticket linking**, and **partial payment support**. Every invoice edit creates a new version using a **copy-on-write strategy** for complete audit trails.
---
## 🎯 Enterprise Features Implemented
### βœ… 1. Version Tracking (Copy-on-Write)
- **Every edit creates a new version** of the invoice
- Original invoice **preserved forever** (immutable audit trail)
- Version chain: `v1 ← v2 ← v3 ← v4 (latest)`
- Only latest version has `is_latest_version = TRUE`
- All versions share same `invoice_number`
- `previous_version_id` links to previous version
- `revision_notes` explain what changed
**Database Fields:**
```sql
version INTEGER DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL
previous_version_id UUID REFERENCES contractor_invoices(id)
is_latest_version BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE NOT NULL
revision_notes TEXT
```
### βœ… 2. Audit Logging
- All changes logged to `audit_logs` table
- Tracks: WHO did WHAT, WHEN, and WHAT changed
- Changes stored as JSONB diff: `{"old": {...}, "new": {...}}`
- Integrates with existing audit system
### βœ… 3. Ticket Linking/Unlinking
- **Automatic ticket sync**: Adding line item β†’ sets `ticket.contractor_invoice_id`
- **Automatic unlinking**: Removing line item β†’ clears ticket invoice reference
- Prevents double-invoicing: Tickets can only be on ONE active invoice
- Fields updated:
- `ticket.contractor_invoice_id`
- `ticket.is_invoiced`
- `ticket.invoiced_at`
### βœ… 4. Partial Payments
- **Multiple payments supported**: Record payments over time
- **Automatic totals**: `amount_due = total_amount - amount_paid` (computed)
- **Auto status updates**:
- `partially_paid`: when `0 < amount_paid < total_amount`
- `paid`: when `amount_paid >= total_amount`
- Payment history preserved across versions
### βœ… 5. Flexible Line Items
Invoice can include:
- **Tickets**: Installation/repair work
- **Vehicles**: Vehicle rental charges
- **Labor**: Labor costs
- **Materials**: Material costs
- **Other**: Miscellaneous charges
Each line item: `{id, type, ticket_id?, description, quantity, unit_price, total}`
### βœ… 6. Automatic Totals
- `subtotal` = Sum of all line items
- `tax_amount` = (subtotal Γ— tax_rate) / 100
- `total_amount` = subtotal + tax_amount - discount_amount
- `amount_due` = total_amount - amount_paid (computed column)
- Recalculated on every version
### βœ… 7. Status Workflow
```
draft β†’ sent β†’ paid
↓
partially_paid β†’ paid
↓
overdue / disputed / cancelled / on_hold
```
### βœ… 8. Invoice Numbering
Auto-generated format: `INV-{CONTRACTOR}-{YEAR}-{SEQUENCE}`
Example: `INV-ACME-2025-00142`
### βœ… 9. Soft Delete
- Invoice never truly deleted (sets `deleted_at`)
- All versions soft deleted together
- Tickets automatically unlinked
- Audit trail preserved

## πŸ“ Files Created
### 1. Migration
**File:** `migrations/007_add_invoice_versioning.sql`
- Adds versioning fields to `contractor_invoices`
- Creates indexes for version queries
- Includes comments for documentation
### 2. Model
**File:** `src/app/models/contractor_invoice.py`
- SQLAlchemy ORM model
- Relationships: contractor, client, project, created_by, previous_version
- Computed properties: `amount_due`, `is_fully_paid`, `is_partially_paid`, `is_overdue`
- Helper methods: `get_line_item_by_id()`, `get_ticket_ids()`
- Table constraints and indexes
### 3. Schemas
**File:** `src/app/schemas/contractor_invoice.py`
**Key Schemas:**
- `LineItemBase`, `TicketLineItemCreate`, `GenericLineItemCreate`

- `AddLineItemRequest`, `RemoveLineItemRequest`, `UpdateLineItemRequest`
- `RecordPaymentRequest`, `ChangeStatusRequest`
- `InvoiceVersionSummary`, `InvoiceVersionHistoryResponse`
- `InvoiceSearchFilters` (with validation)
**Validation:**

- Positive amounts
- Tax rate 0-100%
- Line item totals auto-calculated
### 4. Service
