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: ``. Prompts that say `http://127.0.0.1:8006` mean THIS SAME service — substitute the remote URL. - `GET /` → `{"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 //` → 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/` (owner, budget_cap, committed_amount). 2. `GET /budget_snapshots?program_id=` → 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/` (supplier_id, contract_id, status, due_date, lines qty/unit_price). - `GET /purchase_requisitions/` (status, need_by). - If `po.contract_id` non-null → `GET /contracts/` (status, unit_price, ceiling). Else `GET /contracts?sku=` to confirm no contract exists. - `GET /items/` (preferred_supplier_id — sanity check vs PO supplier). - `GET /suppliers/` (risk_rating). - `GET /receipts?po_id=` → client-filter `receipt_date <= as_of` → receipt evidence. - `GET /ap_invoices?po_id=` → client-filter `invoice_date <= as_of` → filter to exception invoices (see below). - `GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=` → open events as of as_of. - `GET /approval_events?object_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/` (po_id, supplier_id, warehouse_id, receipt_date, packing_slip, receiver, status, lines[]). 2. `GET /purchase_orders/` (program_id, status, lines[] qty/unit_price). 3. `GET /contracts/` if non-null (unit_price, ceiling). 4. `GET /suppliers/` (name, risk_rating); `GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=` (open as of review date). 5. `GET /ap_invoices?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/` (po_id, supplier_id, status, hold_code, total, lines[]→quantity_billed, invoice_date). 2. `GET /purchase_orders/` (program_id, lines[]→quantity — the PO qty, for variance %). 3. `GET /receipts/` if non-null (lines[]→quantity_received). If null → no receipt. 4. `GET /suppliers/` (name). 5. `GET /payments?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/` (status, price_type, unit_price, ceiling_amount, effective/expiry). 2. `GET /programs/` (budget_cap, committed_amount). 3. `GET /budget_snapshots?program_id=` → snapshot with `snapshot_date <= memo_date` (latest). 4. `GET /purchase_orders?contract_id=` → ALL POs on the contract; split by `status == cancelled` (excluded) vs the rest (included). 5. `GET /purchase_requisitions/` (status) + `GET /approval_events?object_id=` (latest event). 6. `GET /suppliers/` (status, risk_rating) + `GET /vendor_risk_events?supplier_id=` (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.
