+# ERP Distribution — Master Plan
+
+## What Already Exists
+
+| Area | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| JWT Authentication | Done | Token generation, claims, 120-min expiry |
+| Permission-based Authorization | Done | Dynamic policy provider, role → permission mapping |
+| User Management | Done | CRUD, role assignment, scope assignment (region/route/store) |
+| Role Management | Done (read-only) | 6 roles seeded, no create/update via API |
+| Region / Route / Vehicle CRUD | Done | Full API surface with permission checks |
+| Store / Warehouse CRUD | Done | Full API surface with permission checks |
+| Order CRUD | Done | Scope-aware (user only sees their assigned stores) |
+| Unit of Work + Repositories | Done | Transaction support throughout |
+| Soft Deletes | Done | IsActive pattern on all entities |
+
+## Known Gaps in Existing System (Pre-Work)
+
+These are not new features — they are fixable holes in what's already built.
+They must be resolved before new feature steps begin because later steps depend on correct foundations.
+
+| Gap | Impact |
+|---|---|
+| Route DTOs missing RegionId | Can't link routes to regions via API |
+| Store DTOs missing RouteId | Can't link stores to routes via API |
+| Role endpoints have no [Authorize] | Anyone can read roles without authentication |
+| JWT key & DB credentials in appsettings.json | Security risk in any shared/production environment |
+| No input validation on any DTO | Bad data can enter the system silently |
+| Item model is empty (no properties) | OrderItems reference items that have no data |
+

+## Feature Summaries
+
+### 00 — Existing Gap Fixes
+Fix all known holes in the current codebase before new features are layered on top.
+Includes DTO field gaps, missing authorization on role endpoints, secrets management,
+and adding input validation across all existing endpoints.
+**Gate**: All existing API endpoints behave correctly and securely before step 01 begins.
+
+### 01 — Item Catalog
+Define the Item entity with real properties (name, SKU, unit of measure, category, price tiers).
+Items are the unit of stock — nothing in the stock ledger makes sense without them.
+This step also covers the Item CRUD API and how items relate to orders.
+**Gate**: An item can be created, updated, and referenced in an order with quantity and price.
+
+### 02 — Stock Ledger
+Introduce the concept of stock per location. Every warehouse (fixed or vehicle) holds a quantity
+of each item. Stock is never edited directly — all changes happen through movement transactions
+(load, sale, return, damage, adjustment). The current balance is always the running sum.
+This is the single most important architectural decision for the whole system.
+**Gate**: Stock balance for any item at any location can be queried. Every change is a traceable transaction.
+
+### 03 — Ride Lifecycle
+A ride is a session that turns a vehicle into a temporary warehouse. It has a state machine:
+Draft → Open → Active → Closed. A vehicle can only be on one active ride at a time.
+Two ride types exist: Delivery (pre-orders) and Sale (van sales). The ride tracks who is driving,
+which route, which vehicle, and when it started and ended.
+**Gate**: A ride can be created, opened, and closed. A vehicle's stock ledger is created when a ride opens.
+
+### 04 — Loading Event
+When a ride opens, stock must be physically loaded from a source warehouse onto the vehicle.
+This is a two-party event: warehouse manager confirms what was dispatched, driver confirms what was received.
+Discrepancies between the two are flagged immediately and require resolution before the ride goes active.
+The loading event creates stock movement transactions that debit the warehouse and credit the vehicle.
+**Gate**: Stock moves from warehouse to vehicle via a confirmed loading event. Any discrepancy is logged.
+
+### 05 — Delivery Ride Execution
+On a delivery ride, the driver fulfills pre-confirmed orders. Each order becomes a delivery task.
+The driver marks each as delivered, partially delivered, or failed. Partially delivered orders
+generate a credit note for the undelivered quantity. Customer confirmation (signature or OTP)
+is required to mark a delivery complete. Stock movements are created per delivery event.
+**Gate**: A delivery ride can execute all orders on its route and produce a delivery report.
+
+### 06 — Sale Ride Execution
+On a sale ride, the driver visits customers and creates invoices on the spot. No pre-orders exist.
+The driver selects items, quantities, and prices (within approved discount limits), and the invoice
+is generated immediately. Payment is collected (cash or credit) at the point of sale.
+The vehicle's stock ledger decreases with each sale. The driver cannot sell more than what is loaded.
+**Gate**: A sale ride can generate invoices in the field. Stock on vehicle decreases with each sale.
+
+### 07 — Ride Close & Reconciliation
+When a ride ends, the system performs a full reconciliation. The equation must balance:
+  Opening Stock − Sales − Damages + Returns = Closing Stock (physical count)
+  Cash Collected + Credit Extended = Total Sales − Returns
+Any variance must be approved by a supervisor with a reason code before the ride can close.
+Unresolved variances are logged as discrepancies against the agent's record.
+**Gate**: A ride cannot close with an unexplained variance. All discrepancies are permanently recorded.
+
+### 08 — Sales Agent Controls
+Agents operate within boundaries set by their role level. This step wires role levels to business rules:
+discount limits per agent level, credit limits per customer, maximum single-transaction value,
+and approval chains for exceptions. Supervisors can grant one-time overrides logged against their account.
+**Gate**: An agent cannot exceed their limits without a logged, authorized override.
+
+### 09 — Fraud Controls & Audit Trail
+A dedicated audit log records every sensitive event (who, what, when, from where).
+Automated checks flag: returns without a matching prior sale, sales outside the geofenced route,
+agents with consistently high variance rates, and cash collected below invoiced amounts.
+Return approval requires supervisor sign-off before stock is credited. Anomaly reports are
+surfaced to area managers on a scheduled basis.
+**Gate**: Every sensitive event is logged immutably. Automated flags surface to the right level of management.

+
+## Rules
+
+1. A feature file must be filled in and reviewed before implementation begins on that step.
+2. Status must be updated in this file whenever a step transitions.
+3. If implementation reveals a design change, the feature file is updated and this plan is revised.
+4. Steps must be done in dependency order — no skipping.
