SKILL — ProcureOps ERP Procurement Reconciliation (task_group_006)

Executable recipes for the four task families in this group. The API is the source of truth; the local memo/packet only names IDs and business rules. Always re-derive state from the live API, never trust a memo number.

0. Environment & API mechanics

• Base URL: <remote-env-url>. Prompts that say http://127.0.0.1:8006 mean THIS SAME service — substitute the remote URL.
• GET /<collection> → {"count":N,"results":[...]}. No pagination, no _limit. Unknown query params become substring/case-insensitive field filters (they also match inside nested list values), so an unknown filter returns 0 — only filter on real field names.
• GET /<collection>/<id> → the record object.
• Useful link filters: ?po_id=, ?supplier_id=, ?program_id=, ?contract_id=, ?sku=, ?invoice_id=, ?receipt_id=, ?object_id= (for approval_events).
• start/end filter the collection's primary date field inclusively. Do not rely on this for as-of scoping — instead fetch by link filter (e.g. ?po_id=X) then filter client-side by the relevant date <= as_of. This avoids ambiguity about which date field is filtered.
• Collections: programs, suppliers, items, contracts, purchase_requisitions, purchase_orders, receipts, ap_invoices, payments, approval_events, budget_snapshots, vendor_risk_events.
• Amounts in API records are USD dollars (floats). Most answer templates want USD cents for unit prices OR dollars-rounded-to-cents for totals — read each template field's stated unit. Quantities carry 2 decimals.

1. Cross-cutting reconciliation rules

• as_of scoping (applies to every family): a record is "as of" the review date only if its dated field (receipt_date, invoice_date, event_date, snapshot_date, scheduled_date) is <= as_of. Records dated AFTER as_of are excluded even if they link to the target PO/invoice. Example: for as_of 2026-06-01, a receipt dated 2026-06-08 on the same PO is OUT of scope.
• Open supplier risk = vendor_risk_events with status in {monitoring, open} AND event_date <= as_of. closed/resolved events are NOT open, even if recent. Severity values: low, medium, high, critical.
• Severe open risk = severity in {high, critical}. medium is NOT severe.
• Three-way match = PO line + receipt line + invoice line agree on quantity AND unit price, with a non-null receipt link.
• Price-match anchor = contract.unit_price. Compare to PO line unit_price and invoice line unit_price. All three should agree when a contract exists.
• Which invoice backs a receipt/batch: match on ap_invoices.receipt_id == receipt_id (not just po_id). Multiple invoices can share a PO; only the one whose receipt_id equals the batch is in scope for that batch's billed-qty/price reconciliation.
• Reconciliation chain: PO → receipts(same po_id) → invoices(invoice.po_id and/or invoice.receipt_id) → payments(payment.invoice_id). Contract anchors price: contract ↔ po.contract_id ↔ po line unit_price ↔ invoice line unit_price.
• Rounding: round USD totals to cents (2 dp); ratios to the precision the template states (e.g. 4 dp for completion ratio, 1 dp for variance %). Sort ID lists ascending unless told otherwise.

2. Family A — Sourcing nomination readiness (train_001 / test_003)

Trigger: "sourcing nomination readiness packet", "as of ", a program_id, and a memo naming package anchors (SKU + requisition_id + po_id per line).

Query recipe

1. GET /programs/<program_id> (owner, budget_cap, committed_amount).
2. GET /budget_snapshots?program_id=<pg> → pick the snapshot with snapshot_date <= as_of (latest such). Gives pending_invoice_amount.
3. For each package line (SKU + REQ + PO from memo):
   • GET /purchase_orders/<po_id> (supplier_id, contract_id, status, due_date, lines qty/unit_price).
   • GET /purchase_requisitions/<req_id> (status, need_by).
   • If po.contract_id non-null → GET /contracts/<contract_id> (status, unit_price, ceiling). Else GET /contracts?sku=<sku> to confirm no contract exists.
   • GET /items/<sku> (preferred_supplier_id — sanity check vs PO supplier).
   • GET /suppliers/<supplier_id> (risk_rating).
   • GET /receipts?po_id=<po_id> → client-filter receipt_date <= as_of → receipt evidence.
   • GET /ap_invoices?po_id=<po_id> → client-filter invoice_date <= as_of → filter to exception invoices (see below).
   • GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=<sid> → open events as of as_of.
   • GET /approval_events?object_id=<req_id> (informational; not a blocker code in this family).

Output fields & enums

• package_line_skus: all package SKUs, sorted ascending.
• program_summary: owner (from program), budget_headroom_usd = budget_cap − committed_amount (programs row, dollars, NOT minus pending), overall_readiness ∈ {ready,at_risk,not_ready}.
• Per nomination_lines[] (one per SKU, matched by sku):
  • selected_supplier_id = PO.supplier_id (the nominated supplier).
  • nomination_decision ∈ {nominate,conditional_nomination,hold}.
  • readiness_status ∈ {ready,at_risk,not_ready}.
  • primary_requisition_id = the memo's requisition_id.
  • commercial_basis_id = contract_id if a contract exists else null.
  • package_po_ids = the memo's PO(s) for the line, sorted.
  • receipt_evidence_ids = receipt_ids on the PO with receipt_date <= as_of, sorted.
  • invoice_exception_ids = invoice_ids on the PO with invoice_date <= as_of that are in a hold/exception state: status ∈ {on_hold,pending_receipt} OR hold_code non-null. Exclude paid/approved-clean/cancelled. Sorted.
  • risk_event_ids = open vendor_risk_events as of as_of, sorted.
  • blocker_codes ∈ {missing_contract,supplier_watch,open_supplier_risk,ap_hold,pending_receipt,late_due_date,none} sorted.

Blocker decision rules

• missing_contract: PO.contract_id is null AND no contract record exists for the SKU/program.
• supplier_watch: supplier.risk_rating == "watch".
• open_supplier_risk: ≥1 open vendor_risk_event as of as_of.
• ap_hold: ≥1 invoice_exception on the PO as of as_of.
• pending_receipt: ZERO receipts on the PO as of as_of (no receipt evidence at all). A partial receipt is NOT pending_receipt (it is evidenced).
• late_due_date: PO due_date <= as_of AND PO not in {closed, received} (the need-by/due date has passed unmet). If due_date > as_of, do not set.
• none: no blockers apply (use only when the set is empty — some graders want ["none"], others want []; prefer ["none"] per the enum).

Readiness / decision mapping

• ready / nominate: blocker set is {none} (clean contract + receipt + no holds + no open risk + not late).
• at_risk / conditional_nomination: has evidence (contract exists, has receipt or pending receipt expected) but has clearable blockers (supplier_watch, ap_hold, open non-severe risk). Can proceed once cleared.
• not_ready / hold: missing_contract, OR no path to clear (e.g. severe open risk, pending receipt with no contract).

Committee action

• nominate_now_supplier_ids = suppliers whose line decision is nominate.
• conditional_supplier_ids = conditional_nomination suppliers.
• hold_supplier_ids = hold suppliers.
• next_owner ∈ {buyer,finance_ops,quality_ops,program_owner,ap_team}: route by the dominant actionable blocker across the packet — missing_contract→buyer; ap_hold/invoice holds dominate→ap_team; supplier-risk severe→program_owner; quality/damage→quality_ops; budget→finance_ops. When mixed, prefer the blocker that blocks the most lines / is most fundamental (missing_contract before ap_hold).
• send_to_committee ∈ {yes,no}: yes if any line is nominate or conditional_nomination; no only if every line is hold.

Pitfalls (Family A)

• Excluding future-dated receipts/invoices by as_of is the #1 error. A later receipt on the same PO (e.g. a 2026-06-08 receipt when as_of is 2026-06-01) must NOT appear in receipt_evidence_ids.
• Include ALL exception invoices as of as_of, not just the newest. An older PRICE_VARIANCE hold invoice (e.g. dated 2026-04-29) on the same PO still counts as ap_hold and in invoice_exception_ids.
• budget_headroom_usd is cap − committed only; but overall_readiness must consider the snapshot's pending_invoice_amount — if committed + pending_invoice > budget_cap, the program is not_ready even though headroom looks positive.
• missing_contract requires confirming NO contract record exists (query ?sku=), not just that po.contract_id is null.
• pending_receipt ≠ partial receipt. Partial receipt (PO status partial_receipt) still has evidence → not a pending_receipt blocker.
• Do NOT count closed/resolved vendor_risk_events as open.
• supplier_watch (rating) and open_supplier_risk (events) are independent blockers; both can be set on the same line.
• Approval state of the requisition is informational here (no approval blocker code exists in this family). Use it only for context.
• DRV-AX17-style lines (no contract anywhere) → hold/not_ready regardless of other evidence.

3. Family B — Receiving-control closeout + AP release/chargeback (train_002, train_005 / test_001, test_004)

Two sub-shapes share one reconciliation core.

3A. Single-batch closeout (train_002 shape: one receipt_id)

Query recipe

1. GET /receipts/<batch_id> (po_id, supplier_id, warehouse_id, receipt_date, packing_slip, receiver, status, lines[]).
2. GET /purchase_orders/<po_id> (program_id, status, lines[] qty/unit_price).
3. GET /contracts/<po.contract_id> if non-null (unit_price, ceiling).
4. GET /suppliers/<supplier_id> (name, risk_rating); GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=<sid> (open as of review date).
5. GET /ap_invoices?po_id=<po_id> → pick the invoice whose receipt_id == batch_id (the others belong to other batches). Use its lines[] for billed_qty and unit_price, and its status/hold_code/subtotal/freight/tax/total.

Reconciliation (per po_line_id, sorted ascending)

• ordered_qty = PO line quantity.
• received_qty = receipt line quantity_received (for THIS batch only; do not sum other receipts).
• rejected_qty = receipt line quantity_rejected.
• billed_qty = invoice line quantity_billed (invoice linked to THIS batch via receipt_id).
• short_qty_vs_po = ordered_qty − received_qty.
• unreceived_billed_qty = billed_qty − received_qty (signed; positive = billed but not received).
• receipt_completion_ratio = received_qty / ordered_qty, 4 dp.
• po_unit_price = PO line unit_price; contract_unit_price = contract.unit_price; invoice_unit_price = invoice line unit_price.
• contract_price_match = (contract.unit_price == invoice line unit_price) when a contract exists (extend to PO line too; if any differ, false).

exception_codes (set; allowed: INVOICE_QTY_EXCEEDS_RECEIPT, PARTIAL_RECEIPT, SUPPLIER_WATCH_RISK, PRICE_MISMATCH, DAMAGE_REJECTION, NO_EXCEPTION):

• INVOICE_QTY_EXCEEDS_RECEIPT: billed_qty > received_qty.
• PARTIAL_RECEIPT: received_qty < ordered_qty (or PO status partial_receipt).
• SUPPLIER_WATCH_RISK: supplier.risk_rating == "watch".
• PRICE_MISMATCH: contract/PO/invoice unit prices differ.
• DAMAGE_REJECTION: rejected_qty > 0 OR receipt line inspection_status == "failed" OR receipt status rejected.
• NO_EXCEPTION: none of the above (use alone).

financials (USD, 2 dp): received_goods_value = Σ received_qty × po_unit_price; unreceived_goods_value = Σ (ordered_qty − received_qty) × po_unit_price; invoice_subtotal/freight/tax/total from the invoice object.

decision (allowed sets in template):

• batch_disposition: accept_partial_hold_variance (partial + qty variance, receipt accepted), release_full_invoice (clean 3-way), reject_batch (damage/failed inspection), manual_recount_required (unexplained qty gap needing recount).
• ap_action: keep_invoice_on_hold (any hold_code / variance), release_invoice (clean 3-way), void_invoice (duplicate/unlinked).
• receiving_action: record_shortage_follow_up (short_qty > 0), no_receiving_action (clean), reject_all_units (damage).
• supplier_action: request_credit_or_remaining_delivery (shortage), no_supplier_action (clean), supplier_debit_for_damage (damage).

supplier_risk_context: supplier_risk_rating (from supplier), has_open_supplier_risk (bool), open_supplier_risk_event_ids (open events as of review date, as a set).

evidence: endpoint_record_ids = set of all API record IDs touched (program, PO, contract, receipt, invoice, supplier, risk events, items); task_payloads_reviewed = set of local payload filenames (memo, answer_template).

3B. Multi-invoice release + chargeback (train_005 shape: a packet with po_ids/receipt_ids/invoice_ids + a chargeback_register_excerpt)

Query recipe: fetch every PO, receipt, invoice named in target_ids; fetch the chargeback_register from the local packet (authoritative source local_chargeback_register). The ap_release_request_note and any po73xx_alias_note are supporting-only, not authoritative.

Per-invoice release_decisions[]:

• receipt_ids_in_scope = receipts on the invoice's PO that are <= review_as_of AND link to this invoice's line scope. Normally = [invoice.receipt_id] when populated; [] when null.
• excluded_same_po_receipt_ids = OTHER receipts on the same PO (different receipt_id) not in scope for this invoice — e.g. a duplicate/later receipt tied to a different invoice. Sorted.
• Use the chargeback register to find chargebacks matching this invoice_id/po_id/receipt_id.
• approved_chargeback_amount = Σ (basis_quantity × unit_cost) for chargebacks with status == "approved".
• pending_chargeback_amount = Σ for status == "pending_quality_review".
• net_release_amount = invoice_total − approved_chargeback_amount (pending chargebacks do NOT reduce net; they cause a hold).
• decision ∈ {release_net_after_approved_chargeback,hold_missing_receipt,hold_pending_quality_chargeback}; primary_reason ∈ {approved_qty_chargeback,approved_ap_quantity_variance,no_receipt_on_po,inspection_hold_pending_chargeback}.

Decision rules:

• hold_missing_receipt / no_receipt_on_po: invoice.receipt_id is null AND no receipt exists on the PO (verify GET /receipts?po_id=). AP-VANTIX-style: PO has zero receipts.
• hold_pending_quality_chargeback / inspection_hold_pending_chargeback: a matching chargeback has status == "pending_quality_review" OR the in-scope receipt has status == "inspection_hold". AP ledger status "approved" does NOT override a receiving quality hold.
• release_net_after_approved_chargeback / (approved_qty_chargeback | approved_ap_quantity_variance): a matching chargeback is approved. Pick approved_ap_quantity_variance when the chargeback reason_code is "AP Quantity Variance" (billed > received/PO), approved_qty_chargeback when it's "Underage Quantity" (received < ordered).
• Data-quirk handling: an invoice may carry hold_code: "NO_RECEIPT" while receipt_id is actually populated and a receipt exists. Do NOT treat as missing-receipt — inspect the real receipt linkage and qty variance; if an approved AP-quantity-variance chargeback exists, release net of it.

receiving_exceptions[] (per receipt_id in target):

• exception_codes (zero or more of: Underage Quantity, Severe Unmatched Quantity, Inspection Hold, AP Quantity Variance):
  • Underage Quantity: received_qty < po_qty.
  • Severe Unmatched Quantity: large unexplained over/under (judgment; use sparingly).
  • Inspection Hold: receipt status == "inspection_hold".
  • AP Quantity Variance: billed_qty > received_qty (or billed > PO qty).
• chargeback_status ∈ {approved,pending_quality_review,not_applicable} from the matching chargeback (else not_applicable).
• resolution_status ∈ {net_release_ready,hold_for_quality_review,accepted_no_receiving_exception,missing_receipt}: net_release_ready if chargeback approved and no inspection hold; hold_for_quality_review if pending chargeback or inspection_hold; accepted_no_receiving_exception if receipt clean with no chargeback; missing_receipt only for a PO with no receipt (and then there is no receipt_id to key the row — do NOT fabricate a row).

summary: release_invoice_ids/hold_invoice_ids (sorted); approved_chargeback_total/pending_chargeback_total/net_release_total (net_release_total = Σ net_release_amount over RELEASED invoices); authoritative_sources ⊆ {procureops_po_records,procureops_receipt_records,procureops_ap_records,local_chargeback_register}; supporting_only_sources ⊆ {ap_release_request_note,stale_po73xx_alias_note}; followup_actions ⊆ {ask_receiving_for_vantix_receipt,hold_luma_duplicate_receipt_for_separate_invoice,route_po00031_quality_review,post_approved_chargeback_netting} — include each that applies.

Pitfalls (Family B)

• The invoice for a batch is the one with receipt_id == batch_id, NOT any invoice on the PO. Other receipts on the same PO (e.g. a later accepted_with_note receipt) belong to a different invoice/batch.
• For single-batch closeout, exclude receipts dated after the export/review date even if on the same PO.
• billed_qty is per the invoice line, not the PO qty. Billed can exceed ordered (AP Quantity Variance) — don't clamp.
• A receipt's status: "accepted" does not mean the invoice is releasable — the invoice may still be on_hold for QTY_VARIANCE (billed > received). Keep it on hold.
• hold_code: "NO_RECEIPT" on an invoice whose receipt_id is populated is a data quirk: resolve by the actual receipt + chargeback, not the literal hold code.
• Damage rejection requires quantity_rejected > 0 or inspection_status: "failed" — a memo note saying "no visible damage" means do NOT infer DAMAGE_REJECTION.
• net_release_amount subtracts only APPROVED chargebacks; pending chargebacks leave the invoice held at full total.
• excluded_same_po_receipt_ids is non-empty only when another receipt on the same PO exists for a different invoice (duplicate-receipt scenario). When the PO has a single receipt, it's [].
• supporting_only_sources must stay out of authoritative_sources (requester comments and alias notes are not authoritative).
• Don't create a receiving_exceptions row keyed by a missing receipt_id; the missing-receipt case lives in release_decisions + followup_actions.

4. Family C — AP close / vendor balance / hold-release (train_003 / test_002)

Trigger: "AP close", "vendor-balance reconciliation", a list of invoice_ids, a close_date, memo stating opening balance (often 0.00) and a payment cutoff (e.g. "payments scheduled through 2026-06-30 reduce the close balance").

Query recipe

For each target invoice_id:

1. GET /ap_invoices/<invoice_id> (po_id, supplier_id, status, hold_code, total, lines[]→quantity_billed, invoice_date).
2. GET /purchase_orders/<po_id> (program_id, lines[]→quantity — the PO qty, for variance %).
3. GET /receipts/<invoice.receipt_id> if non-null (lines[]→quantity_received). If null → no receipt.
4. GET /suppliers/<supplier_id> (name).
5. GET /payments?invoice_id=<invoice_id> → scheduled payments within the cutoff (scheduled_date <= cutoff, status scheduled/paid typically; follow the memo's cutoff rule).

invoice_decisions[] (sorted by invoice_id)

• hold_decision ∈ {HOLD,RELEASE}. RELEASE when status == "approved" (clean) AND three-way match holds. HOLD when status ∈ {on_hold, pending_receipt} or hold_code non-null or no receipt.
• hold_code: invoice.hold_code or null.
• release_to_payment: boolean = (hold_decision == RELEASE).
• quantity_billed = Σ invoice line quantity_billed (2 dp).
• quantity_received = Σ receipt line quantity_received if a receipt exists else 0.00.
• quantity_variance = quantity_billed − quantity_received (2 dp).
• quantity_variance_pct = quantity_variance / PO_quantity × 100 (1 dp). Use the PO line quantity as denominator. When no receipt, this is billed/PO (can be 100%).
• invoice_total = invoice.total.
• scheduled_payment_amount = Σ payment.amount for payments within the cutoff (0.00 if none).
• net_balance_impact = invoice_total − scheduled_payment_amount (2 dp).
• reason_codes (alphabetical; allowed: APPROVED_THREE_WAY_MATCH, NO_RECEIPT, QTY_VARIANCE, SCHEDULED_PAYMENT_FOUND):
  • NO_RECEIPT: invoice.receipt_id is null / no receipt exists.
  • QTY_VARIANCE: a receipt exists but quantity_billed != quantity_received.
  • APPROVED_THREE_WAY_MATCH: status approved, receipt exists, billed==received, price matches (clean release).
  • SCHEDULED_PAYMENT_FOUND: a scheduled/paid payment within the cutoff exists.
  • Rule of thumb: NO_RECEIPT and QTY_VARIANCE are alternative root-cause codes (no receipt → NO_RECEIPT; receipt but mismatched → QTY_VARIANCE). A clean released invoice carries APPROVED_THREE_WAY_MATCH + SCHEDULED_PAYMENT_FOUND (if a payment exists).

vendor_balances[] (sorted by supplier_id)

Per supplier in the slice:

• opening_balance = memo's stated opening (e.g. 0.00).
• invoice_total = Σ invoice_total for that supplier's invoices in the slice.
• scheduled_payments = Σ scheduled_payment_amount.
• held_invoice_total = Σ invoice_total where hold_decision == HOLD.
• releasable_invoice_total = Σ invoice_total where hold_decision == RELEASE.
• close_balance = opening_balance + invoice_total − scheduled_payments (2 dp).
• balance_status ∈ {OPEN_HELD,OPEN_APPROVED,FULLY_SCHEDULED}: FULLY_SCHEDULED when scheduled_payments == invoice_total (net 0); OPEN_HELD when any held invoice; else OPEN_APPROVED.

program_summary[] (sorted by program_id)

Per program in the slice:

• invoice_count, invoice_total (Σ), held_total (Σ held invoice totals), released_total (Σ released invoice totals), net_close_balance = invoice_total − scheduled_payments for that program.

Queues & total

• payment_hold_queue = invoice_ids with hold_decision HOLD, sorted ascending.
• payment_release_queue = invoice_ids with hold_decision RELEASE, sorted ascending.
• total_close_balance = Σ vendor close_balance (= Σ net_balance_impact across invoices), 2 dp.

Pitfalls (Family C)

• quantity_variance_pct denominator is the PO quantity, not received or billed. Round to 1 decimal.
• A scheduled payment reduces the close balance only if it falls within the memo's cutoff (e.g. scheduled_date <= 2026-06-30); earlier/later payments may not count.
• pending_receipt invoice status with hold_code: NO_RECEIPT is a HOLD (not release) — quantity_received = 0.00, variance = billed, variance% = 100%.
• approved status with a matching scheduled payment → RELEASE and FULLY_SCHEDULED vendor balance (net 0), not OPEN_APPROVED.
• The slice is the named invoices only — do not pull other invoices for the same supplier/program into vendor_balances/program_summary.
• total_close_balance must equal both Σ vendor close_balances and Σ invoice net_balance_impacts — use this as a self-check.
• opening_balance is per the memo (0.00 here) — do not infer from API.

5. Family D — Change-control contract amendment (train_004 / test_005)

Trigger: "change-control decision", an amendment memo (change_memo.json) with program_id, contract_id, supplier_id, sku, requested_incremental_quantity, tax_rate_percent, and business_controls rules.

Query recipe

1. GET /contracts/<contract_id> (status, price_type, unit_price, ceiling_amount, effective/expiry).
2. GET /programs/<program_id> (budget_cap, committed_amount).
3. GET /budget_snapshots?program_id=<pg> → snapshot with snapshot_date <= memo_date (latest).
4. GET /purchase_orders?contract_id=<contract_id> → ALL POs on the contract; split by status == cancelled (excluded) vs the rest (included).
5. GET /purchase_requisitions/<source_requisition_id> (status) + GET /approval_events?object_id=<req_id> (latest event).
6. GET /suppliers/<supplier_id> (status, risk_rating) + GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=<sid> (open as of memo_date).

contract_check

• contract_status, price_type, unit_price, ceiling_amount from contract.
• noncancelled_subtotal = Σ po.subtotal for POs on contract with status != cancelled. (Dollar-based, not quantity-based.)
• headroom_before_change = ceiling_amount − noncancelled_subtotal.
• requested_quantity = memo's requested_incremental_quantity.
• requested_subtotal = requested_quantity × unit_price (this is the contract_ceiling_exposure — subtotal BEFORE tax & freight, per memo).
• headroom_after_change = headroom_before_change − requested_subtotal.
• ceiling_ok = headroom_after_change >= 0.

program_budget_check

• snapshot_id, budget_cap, committed_amount from the as-of snapshot.
• remaining_budget = budget_cap − committed_amount (do NOT subtract pending_invoice_amount).
• requested_tax = requested_subtotal × tax_rate_percent / 100.
• requested_total = requested_subtotal + requested_tax (+ freight ONLY if the memo provides a freight amount; the AX17 memo provides none).
• budget_after_change = remaining_budget − requested_total.
• budget_ok = budget_after_change >= 0.
• max_quantity_with_current_budget = floor(remaining_budget / (unit_price × (1 + tax_rate_percent/100))) — integer, tax-inclusive per the memo's budget_exposure rule.

approval_check

• source_requisition_id from memo.
• latest_event_id/action/actor/event_date = the approval_event with max event_date for the requisition (often only one).
• approval_ok = latest_action ∈ memo's approval_good_actions (here ["approved"]). submitted/held/rejected → false.
• Do NOT use requisition.status as the approval signal — a requisition can be converted while its approval event is only submitted. The approval_events trail is authoritative.

supplier_risk_check

• supplier_status, supplier_risk_rating from supplier.
• open_event_ids = open vendor_risk_events as of memo_date, sorted.
• severe_open_event_ids = those with severity ∈ {high,critical} (medium/low excluded), sorted.
• supplier_risk_ok = severe_open_event_ids is empty (per memo: watch rating is "context only unless an open severe event is found"). A watch rating alone does NOT make this false.

decision (enum)

release_amendment | hold_for_budget | hold_for_approval | hold_for_supplier_risk | hold_for_budget_and_approval | reject_contract_mismatch

• reject_contract_mismatch: contract missing/inactive/expired, or contract.sku ≠ memo sku, or contract.program_id ≠ memo program.
• Else combine failing checks: contract ceiling_ok is a gate but typically not a separate hold label (if ceiling fails with otherwise-ok, it forces reduce-quantity → hold_for_budget). Map:
  • budget not ok + approval not ok → hold_for_budget_and_approval.
  • only budget → hold_for_budget; only approval → hold_for_approval; only severe risk → hold_for_supplier_risk.
  • none failing (ceiling_ok, budget_ok, approval_ok, supplier_risk_ok, contract active/matching) → release_amendment.

required_actions (enum, sorted ascending)

obtain_final_requisition_approval | raise_budget_exception_or_reduce_quantity | resolve_supplier_risk_hold | none

• obtain_final_requisition_approval if approval not ok.
• raise_budget_exception_or_reduce_quantity if budget not ok (or ceiling exceeded).
• resolve_supplier_risk_hold if severe open risk.
• none only when all ok (and then it's the sole entry).

supporting_ids (sorted ascending)

• included_po_ids = non-cancelled POs on the contract.
• excluded_cancelled_po_ids = cancelled POs on the contract.
• approval_event_ids = all approval_events for the source requisition.

summary

• blocker_count = number of failing checks among {budget, approval, supplier_risk( severe)} (ceiling/contract mismatch counts separately if present). For the AX17 memo: 2 (budget + approval).
• currency = "USD".
• ready_to_release = (decision == release_amendment).

Pitfalls (Family D)

• Exclude cancelled POs from noncancelled_subtotal (cancelled POs on the contract must be in excluded_cancelled_po_ids, not summed). Including them understates headroom.
• Headroom is dollar-based (ceiling − Σ subtotal), not quantity-based. Don't sum PO quantities.
• remaining_budget = budget_cap − committed_amount only. The snapshot's pending_invoice_amount is informational and is NOT subtracted here.
• Use the snapshot dated <= memo_date for budget figures, not the live programs.committed_amount (they usually agree, but the snapshot is the as-of truth).
• Approval state comes from approval_events, NOT purchase_requisitions.status. A converted/approved requisition status does not guarantee a final approved event — check the latest action against approval_good_actions.
• watch risk rating is context only and does NOT block; only an open severe (high/critical) event blocks. Medium open events do not.
• max_quantity_with_current_budget is tax-inclusive (floor to integer). Compare to requested_quantity to confirm the overrun.
• requested_subtotal for the ceiling check excludes tax/freight; requested_total for the budget check includes tax (+ freight if memo provides). Don't mix the two.
• ceiling_ok can be true while budget_ok is false (contract has room; program budget does not) — the AX17 memo is exactly this case.

6. Cross-family misjudgment checklist

1. as_of scoping: fetch by link filter, then client-filter dates <= as_of. Future receipts/invoices/events excluded.
2. Open risk = status {monitoring, open} only; closed/resolved never count. Severe = {high, critical}.
3. Multi-receipt POs: pick the receipt by receipt_id match, not by PO alone. Duplicate/later receipts are excluded_same_po_receipt_ids or out-of-scope.
4. Multi-invoice POs: billed_qty/price come from the invoice whose receipt_id matches the batch, not any PO invoice.
5. Amounts: API dollars vs template cents — convert per field. Quantities 2 dp; variance% 1 dp; completion ratio 4 dp.
6. Payment cutoff: only payments within the memo's cutoff reduce close balance.
7. Don't trust invoice hold_code literally when receipt_id is populated — verify against the receipt + chargeback.
8. AP status approved ≠ releasable when a receiving inspection_hold or pending_quality_review chargeback exists.
9. Budget: headroom/remaining_budget use cap − committed; readiness/budget_ok may additionally weigh pending_invoice_amount (Family A) or the requested exposure (Family D) — don't conflate the two computations.
10. Approval: use approval_events latest action vs the memo's approval_good_actions; ignore requisition.status for final-approval decisions.
11. Sort all ID lists ascending unless the template says otherwise; treat list fields as sets unless sorting is specified.
12. authoritative_sources = API record families + local chargeback register; requester comments / alias notes are supporting_only_sources only.
