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
Store Management (Beyond CRUD) Done Credit limit, KYC, segment, dashboard, scheme eligibility; see 12_store_management.md
Order CRUD Done Scope-aware (user only sees their assigned stores); an Order is now created only as a side effect of Sale creation, not standalone — see §1 Order Management notes below
Sale & Payment Done Features/Sale creates a Sale+linked Order together (pricing, KYC threshold, immediate-handover stock check); Features/Payment records collections against a Sale and drives its PaymentStatus
Unit of Work + Repositories Done Transaction support throughout
Soft Deletes Done IsActive pattern on all entities
Price Lists / Suppliers Done Region-scoped price lists + supplier master; see 14_pricing_and_suppliers.md
Promotions & Trade Schemes Done BuyXGetY/FreeBundle/SlabDiscount/FlatPercent schemes, free-goods fulfillment, spend/ROI tracking; see 17_promotions_schemes.md
Procurement / Purchasing Done Purchase Order → Goods Receipt → Purchase Return, supplier evaluation; see 15_procurement.md
Returns & Claims Management Done Sale returns, claims, supplier claims; see 18_returns_claims.md

Known Gaps in Existing System (Pre-Work) — Resolved

Step 00 closed these. Kept here for history; all are fixed in the current codebase.

Gap Impact Resolution
Route DTOs missing RegionId Can't link routes to regions via API Fixed — CreateRouteRequest/UpdateRouteRequest/RouteResponse all carry RegionId (Features/Route/RouteDTOs.cs).
Store DTOs missing RouteId Can't link stores to routes via API Fixed — all Store DTOs carry RouteId (Features/Store/StoreDTOs.cs).
Role endpoints have no [Authorize] Anyone can read roles without authentication Fixed — [Authorize] on RoleController (Features/Role/RoleController.cs).
Item model is empty (no properties) OrderItems reference items that have no data Fixed — Item has Sku/Name/Description/category/brand/UOM/pricing fields (Models/Item.cs).

Still open (not a step-00 blocker, tracked separately)

Gap Impact
JWT key & DB credentials in appsettings.json Security risk in any shared/production environment — appsettings.json still has a literal DB password and placeholder JWT key.
No input validation on any DTO Bad data can enter the system silently.

Steps 00–09 are the original ride/stock-ledger roadmap and keep their strict dependency order. Steps 10–23 fill in every remaining area from the Function Reference by Feature section above that wasn't already covered by 00–09; they depend only on the specific earlier steps noted above, not on the full 00–09 chain, and can be resequenced relative to each other as priorities become clearer.


Function Reference by Feature

Reference only, not a build plan — background material to consult while planning/implementing the steps above and below. Service-layer function names and what each should do when implemented. Names are illustrative (camelCase) — adapt to your language/framework conventions. None of the functions below are implemented yet unless noted. User Management/RBAC functions aren't repeated here — see SRS_User_Management_Module.pdf.

1. Order Management

Design change since this section was first written: Order is no longer created directly from storeId/items/salesRepId. Order creation was folded into Features/Sale — every Order is now a 1:1 side effect of SaleService.CreateAsync (see §6 Sale Ride Execution). POST /api/orders (OrderService.CreateAsync) is now just a lookup — it throws "Orders are created automatically from sales" if called for a sale that doesn't already have one, rather than creating a standalone order. All the validation described below (stock check, KYC threshold, pricing) now happens in SaleService.CreateAsync (Features/Sale/SaleService.cs), not OrderService.

Function What it does Status
createOrder(storeId, items[], salesRepId) Validates stock/credit, creates a new order in pending state. Superseded — see design-change note above. The equivalent entry point is SaleService.CreateAsync (createSale, §6), which creates the Sale and its linked Order together. OrderService.CreateAsync itself only fetches the existing order for a given SaleId.
validateCreditLimit(storeId, orderAmount) Checks store's outstanding balance + new order value against its credit limit. Not implemented - Store has CreditLimit and OutstandingBalance, but there is no dedicated validator or sale/order-time credit-limit enforcement yet.
checkStockAvailability(items[]) Confirms requested SKUs/quantities are available at the fulfilling warehouse. Partially implemented — SaleService.CreateAsync checks StockBalance at the ride's vehicle, but only when FulfillImmediately = true and a RideId is supplied (immediate van-sale handover); a deferred/pending sale does no stock check at create time at all. Not warehouse-wide, not reserved — a failed check simply returns null (400) rather than a typed error.
applyPricingAndDiscounts(orderId) Runs the active price list and eligible scheme rules against order lines. Partially implemented — SaleService.CreateAsync resolves the price-list half via ResolveUnitPriceAsync → PriceListService.ResolvePriceAsync (region-scoped via the store's route → Item.SalePrice fallback, or a caller-supplied UnitPrice validated against [MinPrice, Price]). The scheme-discount half is a separate call — SchemeService.EvaluateEligibilityAsync/ApplySchemeAsync (§11) — not auto-invoked from createSale; the caller applies a scheme explicitly via POST /api/orders/{id}/apply-scheme after the order exists.
submitOrderForApproval(orderId) Routes the order to the correct approver based on its value/discount threshold. Not implemented — depends on 08_sales_agent_controls.md.
approveOrder(orderId, approverId) / rejectOrder(orderId, reason) Moves order to approved or rejected, logging the actor. Not implemented.
updateOrderStatus(orderId, status) Transitions order through pending → approved → picked → dispatched → delivered → invoiced. Implemented, with a smaller state machine than described — Models/Enums.cs defines OrderStatus { Pending, PartiallyFulfilled, Fulfilled, Cancelled }; OrderService.UpdateAsync (PUT /api/orders/{id}) sets Order.Status directly (any status accepted, no transition guard) and mirrors it onto the linked Sale.Status/CompletedAt. No approved/picked/dispatched/invoiced states exist.
convertOrderToInvoice(orderId) Generates the invoice once the order is dispatched/delivered. Not implemented — depends on §13 Finance & Accounting.
createBackorder(orderId, unfulfilledItems[]) Splits unfulfillable quantity into a linked backorder. Not implemented.
cancelOrder(orderId, reason) Cancels an order pre-dispatch and releases any reserved stock. Partially implemented — OrderService.DeleteAsync (DELETE /api/orders/{id}) soft-deletes the order and cascades Sale.Status = Cancelled, but takes no reason code and releases no reserved stock (nothing is reserved at create time to release).
getOrdersByStore(storeId) / getOrdersBySalesRep(salesRepId) Scoped order listings. getOrdersByStore implemented (GET /api/orders/store/{storeId}). getOrdersBySalesRep not implemented.
getOrderAnalytics(filters) Returns fill rate, average order value, rejection rate over a period. Not implemented.

2. Region Management

Function What it does Status
createRegion(name, boundaries) Creates a new region record. Partially implemented — RegionController supports create with Name only, no boundaries field.
assignAreaToRegion(areaId, regionId) Links an existing area under a region. Not implemented — no Area entity exists in the schema.
setRegionalTarget(regionId, period, targetValue) Sets the sales target for a region for a given period. Not implemented.
setRegionalBudget(regionId, period, budgetAmount) Allocates budget at the regional level. Not implemented.
mapAgencyToRegion(agencyId, regionId) Assigns a Regional Agency's contract scope to a region. Not implemented — RegionalAgency is currently a Role, not a distinct agency entity; scope is via UserRegionScope.
setRegionalTaxRule(regionId, ruleConfig) Overrides tax/pricing rules for a specific region. Not implemented.
getRegionHierarchy(regionId) Returns all areas/territories nested under a region. Not implemented — see user_management_PLAN.md territory hierarchy prerequisite.
getRegionDashboard(regionId, period) Aggregated KPIs: sales, fill rate, agency performance for the region. Not implemented.

3. Route Management

Function What it does Status
createRoute(name, areaId) Creates a new sales visit route within an area. Partially implemented — RouteController supports create, but by RegionId not areaId (no Area entity exists).
assignOutletsToRoute(routeId, outletIds[]) Maps a set of stores to a route. Partially implemented — a Store has a single FK_RouteId, set via StoreController create/update; no bulk-assign endpoint.
assignRouteToSalesRep(routeId, salesRepId) Assigns ownership of a route to an SR. Not implemented — only UserRouteScope exists (scope grant), not a single-owner assignment.
optimizeRouteSequence(routeId) Reorders the visit sequence for efficiency (distance/priority-based). Not implemented.
recordRouteCheckIn(routeId, outletId, gpsCoords, timestamp) Logs an SR's arrival at an outlet. Not implemented.
recordRouteCheckOut(routeId, outletId, timestamp) Logs departure and closes out the visit. Not implemented.
getRouteAdherence(routeId, date) Compares planned vs. actual visits for a route/day. Not implemented — depends on check-in/check-out above.
reassignRoute(routeId, newSalesRepId) Moves a route to a different SR. Not implemented.
getRoutePerformance(routeId, period) Sales per route, strike rate, missed-visit count. Not implemented.
planDeliveryRoute(warehouseId, orderIds[]) Builds the warehouse-to-outlet dispatch route (separate from the sales visit route). Not implemented — this is the DeliveryRun concept; see 03_ride_lifecycle.md.

4. Store (Outlet) Management

Function What it does Status
createStore(storeData, kycDocs) Onboards a new outlet with required KYC. Partially implemented - store create exists, and KYC documents can now be uploaded/listed via separate /api/stores/{id}/kyc-documents endpoints rather than inline on create.

deactivateStore(storeId, reason) Soft-deletes a store, blocking new orders against it. Partially implemented — DELETE /api/stores/{id} soft-deletes via IsActive, no reason code captured.
getStoreVisitHistory(storeId) Returns visit compliance history from Route Management. Placeholder only - endpoint exists (GET /api/stores/{id}/visit-history) but currently returns an empty list until Route/Sales Visit Management lands.
checkStoreSchemeEligibility(storeId, schemeId) Evaluates whether a store qualifies for a given promotion. Implemented — GET /api/stores/{id}/schemes/{schemeId}/eligibility now calls SchemeService.CheckStoreScopeEligibilityAsync (region/segment/date-range scope check, no order context). For full order-line rule evaluation against a specific order, use evaluateSchemeEligibility(storeId, orderId) instead (GET /api/schemes/eligible?storeId=...&orderId=..., §11).
getStoreSalesDashboard(storeId, period) Store-level sales and outstanding summary. Partially implemented - GET /api/stores/{id}/dashboard aggregates order count, total order value, and last order date for the selected month. It does not yet include full sales/outstanding analytics from Finance.

5. Vehicle / Fleet Management

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. For now, the shop is treated as a business destination, not a tracked stock location in this system. That means warehouse-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-warehouse movements update tracked stock balances, while vehicle-to-shop handover reduces vehicle stock and updates sale/order fulfillment state without creating a shop stock balance. 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. For now, one ride uses one route. 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. Vehicle-to-shop handover reduces vehicle stock only; the shop does not yet exist as a tracked stock location in the ledger. 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 sales agent visits customers and creates sales in the field. Every sale creates an order. If items are handed over immediately, the order is fulfilled immediately and the sale is completed immediately. If items are not handed over immediately, the order stays pending for later fulfillment. Payment is collected based on the final sale flow. The vehicle's stock ledger decreases only for quantities actually handed over from the vehicle. The shop is not yet a tracked stock location in the ledger. Gate: A sale ride can create sales in the field, create linked orders, and reduce vehicle stock for immediate handover quantities.

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-related processing is handled in §12 as an immediate-settlement flow; this step focuses on audit logging and anomaly detection around those events. 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.
