| # Enterprise-Grade Contractor Invoicing System | |
| ## Implementation Complete β | |
| ### 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. | |
| --- | |
| ## π― Enterprise Features Implemented | |
| ### β 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 β v2 β v3 β 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 | |
| ``` | |
| ### β 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 | |
| ### β 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` | |
| ### β 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 | |
| ### β 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}` | |
| ### β 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 | |
| ### β 7. Status Workflow | |
| ``` | |
| draft β sent β paid | |
| β | |
| partially_paid β paid | |
| β | |
| overdue / disputed / cancelled / on_hold | |
| ``` | |
| ### β 8. Invoice Numbering | |
| Auto-generated format: `INV-{CONTRACTOR}-{YEAR}-{SEQUENCE}` | |
| Example: `INV-ACME-2025-00142` | |
| ### β 9. Soft Delete | |
| - Invoice never truly deleted (sets `deleted_at`) | |
| - All versions soft deleted together | |
| - Tickets automatically unlinked | |
| - Audit trail preserved | |

| ## π 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` | |
| - `ContractorInvoiceCreate`, `ContractorInvoiceUpdate`, `ContractorInvoiceResponse` | |
| - `ContractorInvoiceSummary` (lightweight for lists) | |
| - `AddLineItemRequest`, `RemoveLineItemRequest`, `UpdateLineItemRequest` | |
| - `RecordPaymentRequest`, `ChangeStatusRequest` | |
| - `InvoiceVersionSummary`, `InvoiceVersionHistoryResponse` | |
| - `InvoiceSearchFilters` (with validation) | |
| **Validation:** | |
| - Date relationships (due_date >= issue_date, etc.) | |
| - Positive amounts | |
| - Tax rate 0-100% | |
| - Line item totals auto-calculated | |
| ### 4. Service | |
