🎯 Enterprise Features Implemented

✅ Version Tracking (Copy-on-Write)

Every edit creates a new version. Original invoice preserved forever for audit trail.

✅ Audit Logging

All changes logged to audit_logs table with WHO/WHAT/WHEN/CHANGES.

✅ Ticket Linking/Unlinking

• Adding ticket line item → Sets ticket.contractor_invoice_id
• Removing ticket line item → Clears ticket reference
• Prevents double-invoicing

✅ Partial Payments

• Multiple payments accumulate
• Auto-status updates (partially_paid → paid)
• amount_due computed automatically

✅ Flexible Line Items

Support for 5 types: tickets, vehicles, labor, materials, other charges.

✅ Automatic Totals

Subtotal, tax, discount, total recalculated on every version.

✅ Status Workflow

draft → sent → partially_paid → paid with support for overdue, disputed, cancelled, on_hold.

✅ Invoice Numbering

Auto-generated format: INV-{CONTRACTOR}-{YEAR}-{SEQUENCE}

✅ Soft Delete

Invoices never truly deleted. All versions preserved with deleted_at timestamp.

🔧 Technical Highlights

Copy-on-Write Versioning

# Mark current as not latest
current_invoice.is_latest_version = False

# Create new version
new_version = ContractorInvoice(
    # ... copy all fields ...
    version=current_invoice.version + 1,
    previous_version_id=current_invoice.id,
    is_latest_version=True,
    revision_notes="What changed"
)

Automatic Ticket Unlinking

# When removing line item with ticket_id
if ticket_to_unlink_id:
    ticket = db.query(Ticket).filter(Ticket.id == ticket_id).first()
    if ticket:
        ticket.contractor_invoice_id = None
        ticket.is_invoiced = False
        ticket.invoiced_at = None

Auto Status on Payment

new_amount_paid = invoice.amount_paid + payment_amount

if new_amount_paid >= invoice.total_amount:
    new_status = "paid"
    paid_date = payment_date
elif new_amount_paid > Decimal('0'):
    new_status = "partially_paid"

Invoice Number Generation

def generate_invoice_number(db, contractor_id):
    year = datetime.now().year
    contractor = db.query(Contractor).filter(...).first()
    prefix = contractor.name[:4].upper().replace(' ', '')
    
    # Get next sequence
    last_invoice = db.query(ContractorInvoice).filter(
        invoice_number.like(f"INV-{prefix}-{year}-%")
    ).order_by(desc(created_at)).first()
    
    sequence = extract_sequence(last_invoice) + 1
    return f"INV-{prefix}-{year}-{sequence:05d}"

🧪 Testing Instructions

1. Apply Migration

psql -U postgres -d swiftops -f migrations/007_add_invoice_versioning.sql

2. Test Create Invoice

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contractor-invoices \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contractor_id": "uuid",
    "client_id": "uuid",
    "billing_period_start": "2025-11-01",
    "billing_period_end": "2025-11-30",
    "issue_date": "2025-11-17",
    "due_date": "2025-12-17",
    "tax_rate": 16,
    "line_items": [
      {
        "type": "ticket",
        "ticket_id": "uuid",
        "description": "Installation work",
        "quantity": 1,
        "unit_price": 5000
      }
    ]
  }'

3. Verify Version Created

SELECT id, invoice_number, version, is_latest_version, total_amount
FROM contractor_invoices
WHERE invoice_number = 'INV-XXXX-2025-00001';

4. Test Add Line Item (Creates v2)

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contractor-invoices/{id}/line-items \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -d '{
    "line_item": {
      "type": "vehicle",
      "description": "Vehicle rental",
      "quantity": 2,
      "unit_price": 1500
    },
    "revision_notes": "Added vehicle charges"
  }'

5. Verify Versioning

SELECT version, is_latest_version, revision_notes, total_amount
FROM contractor_invoices
WHERE invoice_number = 'INV-XXXX-2025-00001'
ORDER BY version;

-- Expected:
-- version | is_latest_version | revision_notes        | total_amount
-- --------|-------------------|----------------------|-------------
-- 1       | false             | Initial version      | 5800.00
-- 2       | true              | Added vehicle charges| 9280.00

6. Test Payment Recording

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contractor-invoices/{id}/payments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -d '{
    "amount": 5000,
    "payment_method": "mobile_money",
    "payment_reference": "MPESA-ABC123"
  }'

7. Verify Status Update

SELECT version, status, amount_paid, amount_due
FROM contractor_invoices
WHERE invoice_number = 'INV-XXXX-2025-00001' AND is_latest_version = true;

-- Expected: status = 'partially_paid', amount_paid = 5000, amount_due = 4280

8. Test Version History

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contractor-invoices/{id}/versions

9. Test Ticket Unlinking

# Remove line item with ticket
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contractor-invoices/{id}/line-items/{line_item_id}

# Verify ticket unlinked
SELECT contractor_invoice_id, is_invoiced FROM tickets WHERE id = 'ticket-uuid';
-- Expected: contractor_invoice_id = NULL, is_invoiced = false

10. Check Audit Logs

SELECT user_email, action, description, changes
FROM audit_logs
WHERE entity_type = 'contractor_invoice'
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 10;

🎓 Key Learnings

Why Copy-on-Write?

• Immutable audit trail: No data ever lost
• Dispute resolution: "Show me invoice as it was on Nov 10"
• Compliance: Regulatory requirements met
• Debugging: Track exactly what changed when

Why Ticket Unlinking?

• Data integrity: Removed line items shouldn't hold tickets
• Business logic: If not invoicing ticket, make it available for other invoices
• User expectations: "I removed it, why is ticket still linked?"

Why Auto Status on Payment?

• User convenience: Don't make PM update status manually
• Accuracy: Computer calculates better than human
• Real-time: Status always reflects current payment state
