Nine Things Before the Customer Signs

The Philippines requires nine disclosures before a consumer credit sale is consummated, and two of them are different interest rates. Our invoice holds a balance and a due date; the word instalment appears nowhere in the codebase.

The Limit With No Currency On It

A customer credit limit here genuinely refuses — past the line the invoice is created on hold. What the number never records is which currency it is expressed in, and the exposure it is weighed against is a sum of invoice balances that each carry a currency of their own.

The Override That Shares a Permission

Overriding a customer credit hold here needs the permission to edit invoices — the same grant that lets somebody change one. Three modules away, an equivalent override was deliberately given a permission of its own.

The Ceiling That Is Only on Two of Three Doors

A tax rate here cannot be created above one hundred per cent by any route. It can be updated above it through one. The rule was written on two doors out of three, which is the ordinary way a validation gap happens and the ordinary reason nobody notices.

The Permissions for a Module That Was Never Built

Four permissions govern who may view, create, edit and delete a proposal. There is no proposals feature — no record, no screen, no address. The permissions describe a plan, because a plan is what a permission list is made of, and buyers read it as evidence.

A Discount With No Name on It

A discount at the till is an amount and a sentence — no approver, no reason code, no percentage, no person on the record. A stock write-off of the same value needs a dedicated permission and a second pair of eyes no permission can override.

The Number on the Document

Document numbers are sequential per organisation, per type, per prefix and per year, zero-padded, and safe when two people press save together. What the key does not contain is a branch — so ten sites share one run.

Eight Columns on a Line

An invoice line has eight columns. A per-line discount and a per-line tax rate are more than many systems offer. No unit, no fractional quantity, no cost and no project — and it is the missing cost that makes historical margin move.

An Invoice That Has to Be Approved

An invoice is not created and sent in one act. It is drafted, approved by a named person at a recorded time, confirmed, then sent — and a customer over their credit limit stops it dead at approval. Having a lifecycle at all is the unusual part.

The Document That Goes With the Goods

There is no delivery note. An invoice knows which warehouse the goods left from, and there is no separate document that travels with them and gets signed at the other end. For internal transfers there is exactly that.

One Field Wired and One Deliberately Not

A customer tax profile carries an exemption and a rate override. Ticking the exemption genuinely exempts them. Typing the override does nothing, on purpose, and the page says so. The rule that separates the two is the most useful thing here.
