## Issue #1: Sale Creation Transaction Error (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED  
**Priority**: Critical  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-18

### Description
When creating a sale, the transaction was being committed but then an error occurred, causing Sequelize to attempt a rollback on an already committed transaction.

### Error Details
```
Transaction cannot be rolled back because it has been finished with state: commit
```

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a sale with multiple items
2. Transaction commits successfully
3. Post-commit operation fails (e.g., reloading sale with associations)
4. Catch block attempts rollback on committed transaction

### Root Cause
The transaction was committed successfully, but then a post-commit operation (reloading the sale) failed. The catch block attempted to rollback the transaction, which had already been committed, causing the error.

### Impact
- **High**: Blocked all sale creation operations
- Users could not complete sales through the POS system

### Fix Applied
Implemented a safe rollback pattern using a `committed` flag:
- Declare `let committed = false;` before try block
- Set `committed = true;` after `await transaction.commit();`
- Only rollback if `!committed` in catch block

**Files Modified**:
- `server/modules/sales/services/index.js` (createSale function)
- `server/modules/sales/services/index.js` (cancelSale function)

### Verification
✅ Tested and verified - Sale creation now works correctly without transaction errors.

## Issue #2: Production Order Route Documentation Mismatch (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED  
**Priority**: Minor  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-18

### Description
The API testing guide had incorrect route path for production orders.

### Error Details
Route mismatch: Documentation showed `/api/production/production-orders` but actual route is `/api/production/orders`.

### Fix Applied
Updated `API_TESTING_GUIDE.md` to reflect correct route: `POST /api/production/orders`.

## Issue #3: GRN Item variant_id Validation (NOTED ✅)

**Status**: NOTED (Not a bug, working as designed)  
**Priority**: Low  
**Date**: 2025-12-18

### Description
Including `"variant_id": null` for products without variants in GRN creation caused a validation error.

### Error Details
Validation error when explicitly sending `"variant_id": null`.

### Root Cause
The validation expects the field to be omitted entirely for products without variants, not set to null.

### Solution
Workaround: Omit the `variant_id` field entirely for products without variants. This is the correct approach.

**Files Updated**:
- `server/API_TESTING_GUIDE.md` (updated payload examples)

## Issue #4: User Association Missing in Sale Model (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED  
**Priority**: Critical  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-18

### Description
The Sale model was missing a `belongsTo` association to the User model, causing errors when trying to access the user who created the sale.

### Error Details
```
User is not associated to Sale!
```

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a sale
2. Try to retrieve the sale with user association
3. Error occurs

### Root Cause
The Sale model had `user_id` foreign key but no Sequelize association definition for User.

### Impact
- **High**: Could not access user information on sales
- Affected sale retrieval and reporting features

### Fix Applied
Added `belongsTo` association for User in Sale model:
```javascript
Sale.belongsTo(models.User, {
  foreignKey: 'user_id',
  as: 'user',
});
```

**Files Modified**:
- `server/models/Sale.js`

### Verification
✅ Tested and verified - User association now works correctly.

## Issue #5: POST /api/returns Validation Error (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED  
**Priority**: Critical  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-19

### Description
The return creation endpoint incorrectly required `inventory_item_id` for ALL return items, even quantity-based items that don't have UIDs.

### Error Details
```
Return item must have inventory_item_id
```

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a return for a quantity-based sale (non-UID tracked)
2. Omit `inventory_item_id` from return items
3. Validation error occurs

### Root Cause
The validation logic required `inventory_item_id` for all return items, but quantity-based sales don't use UIDs, so returns for these sales shouldn't require `inventory_item_id`.

### Impact
- **High**: Blocked return functionality for quantity-based items
- Users could not process returns for non-UID tracked products

### Fix Applied

1. **Validation Layer** (`server/modules/returns/validations/index.js`):
   - Made `inventory_item_id` optional in validation rules
   - Removed requirement for `inventory_item_id` in custom validation

2. **Service Layer** (`server/modules/returns/services/index.js`):
   - Updated `createReturn` to handle both UID-based and quantity-based returns
   - Added logic to determine return type based on presence of `inventory_item_id`
   - For UID-based: Validate and process inventory items as before
   - For quantity-based: Validate sale item doesn't have `inventory_item_id` and validate return quantity doesn't exceed sale quantity

3. **Complete Return** (`server/modules/returns/services/index.js`):
   - Updated `completeReturn` to handle both return types:
     - UID-based: Update inventory item status to RETURNED, increment quantity by 1
     - Quantity-based: Increment inventory quantity by return quantity directly

4. **Swagger Documentation** (`server/modules/returns/routes/index.js`):
   - Updated to reflect `inventory_item_id` as optional
   - Added note that it's required for UID-tracked items, omitted for quantity-based

**Files Modified**:
- `server/modules/returns/validations/index.js`
- `server/modules/returns/services/index.js`
- `server/modules/returns/routes/index.js`

### Verification
✅ Code updated - Ready for testing.

## Issue #6: GET /api/reports/sales/date Route Not Found (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED (Documentation)  
**Priority**: Minor  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-18

### Description

### Fix Applied
Corrected route path to `/api/reports/sales/date` in `API_TESTING_GUIDE.md`.

## Issue #7: GET /api/reports/shifts Route Not Found (FIXED ✅)

**Status**: FIXED (Documentation)  
**Priority**: Minor  
**Date Fixed**: 2025-12-18

### Description
The API testing guide had incorrect route path for shift report.

### Error Details
Route `GET /api/reports/shifts/1` not found.

### Fix Applied
Corrected route path to `/api/reports/shifts?shift_id=1` (using query parameter) in `API_TESTING_GUIDE.md`.

## Issue #8: POST /api/discounts/apply Field Name (NOTED ✅)

**Status**: NOTED (Not a bug, working as designed)  
**Priority**: Low  
**Date**: 2025-12-18

### Description
The payload should use `"sale_items"` instead of `"items"`.

### Error Details
"Sale items are required"

### Solution
Updated `API_TESTING_GUIDE.md` to use correct field name: `sale_items`.

## Issue #9: POST /api/shifts/:id/cash-counts Field Name (NOTED ✅)

**Status**: NOTED (Not a bug, working as designed)

### Solution
Updated `API_TESTING_GUIDE.md` to use correct field name: `amount`.
