## 🚀 Quick Setup (3 Steps)

### Step 1: Run Migrations
```bash
cd /Users/apple/Desktop/stockv2
php artisan migrate
```

### Step 2: Generate Historical Data (Optional)
```bash
# With opening balance of $50,000
php artisan cashbook:generate --opening-balance=50000

# Or for specific date range
php artisan cashbook:generate --from-date=2024-01-01 --to-date=2024-12-31 --opening-balance=50000
```

### Step 3: Test
```bash
# Create a test expense via your application
# Check Accounting → Cashbook menu
# You should see it appear automatically!
```

## 🎬 How It Works (Simple Explanation)

```
USER ACTION                 SYSTEM RESPONSE
-----------                 ---------------
Creates cash payment   →    PaymentObserver detects
                      →    CashbookService creates entry
                      →    Balance auto-calculated
                      →    Entry appears in cashbook

Creates expense       →    ExpenseObserver detects
                      →    CashbookService creates entry
                      →    Balance auto-calculated
                      →    Entry appears in cashbook

Records income        →    IncomeObserver detects
                      →    CashbookService creates entry
                      →    Balance auto-calculated
                      →    Entry appears in cashbook
```

**No manual cashbook entry needed!** ✨

## 💡 What Gets Auto-Captured

| Transaction Type | Cashbook Entry | Direction | Example |
|-----------------|----------------|-----------|---------|
| Cash Sale Payment | ✅ Created | Debit (In) | Customer pays $500 cash |
| Cash Purchase Payment | ✅ Created | Credit (Out) | Pay supplier $300 cash |
| Expense | ✅ Created | Credit (Out) | Internet bill $200 |
| Income | ✅ Created | Debit (In) | Service revenue $1000 |
| Sale Return | ✅ Created | Credit (Out) | Refund customer $150 |
| Purchase Return | ✅ Created | Debit (In) | Supplier refund $250 |

**Only CASH payments are tracked** (not credit card, bank, etc.)

## 🛠️ Artisan Command Options

```bash
# Basic usage with opening balance
php artisan cashbook:generate --opening-balance=50000

# Filter by date range
php artisan cashbook:generate --from-date=2024-01-01 --to-date=2024-12-31

# Filter by warehouse
php artisan cashbook:generate --warehouse=1

# Clear existing before generating
php artisan cashbook:generate --clear --opening-balance=50000

# Combine all options
php artisan cashbook:generate \
  --from-date=2024-01-01 \
  --to-date=2024-12-31 \
  --warehouse=1 \
  --opening-balance=50000 \
  --clear
```

---

## 🔧 Controller Methods Added

### 1. Set Opening Balance
```php
POST /cashbook/set-opening-balance
{
  "amount": 50000,
  "date": "2024-01-01",
  "warehouse_id": 1,
  "note": "Opening balance for 2024"
}
```

### 2. Generate Entries Manually
```php
POST /cashbook/generate-entries
{
  "from_date": "2024-01-01",

  "warehouse_id": 1
}
```

## 📊 CashbookService Key Methods

```php
// For automatic use by observers:
createFromPayment($payment)          // Auto-create from payment
createFromExpense($expense)          // Auto-create from expense
createFromIncome($income)            // Auto-create from income
createFromSaleReturn($return)        // Auto-create from sale return
createFromPurchaseReturn($return)    // Auto-create from purchase return

// Core methods:
createEntry($data)                   // Create with duplicate prevention
updateEntry($type, $id, $data)       // Update existing entry
deleteEntry($type, $id)              // Delete entry

// Utility methods:
getCurrentBalance($warehouseId)      // Get current cash balance
getOpeningBalance($warehouseId)      // Get opening balance
```

---

## 🎯 Database Fields Added

```sql
ALTER TABLE cashbooks ADD COLUMN:
- reference_type VARCHAR(255)        -- 'App\Models\Payment'
- reference_id BIGINT                -- ID of source record
- is_opening_balance BOOLEAN         -- Flag for opening entries

INDEX (reference_type, reference_id) -- Fast lookups
```

## ✅ Testing Checklist

Quick tests to verify everything works:

```
□ Run migrations
□ Set opening balance via command or API
□ Create expense → Check cashbook (should appear)
□ Create income → Check cashbook (should appear)
□ Create cash sale → Make payment → Check cashbook (should appear)
□ Update expense amount → Check cashbook (should update)
□ Delete expense → Check cashbook (should remove)
□ Run generation command → Check entries created
□ Verify balance calculation is correct
□ Check no duplicate entries exist
□ Test with French translation
```

## 🔍 Common Commands

```bash
# Check logs for errors
tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log | grep cashbook

# Clear all caches
php artisan config:clear && php artisan cache:clear && php artisan route:clear

# Test in Tinker
php artisan tinker
>>> $service = app(\App\Services\CashbookService::class);
>>> $service->getCurrentBalance();
>>> \App\Models\Cashbook::recalculateBalances();

# Check database
php artisan tinker
>>> \App\Models\Cashbook::count()
>>> \App\Models\Cashbook::latest()->take(5)->get()
```

---

## 🚨 Troubleshooting

### Entries Not Auto-Creating?
```bash
# 1. Check observers are registered
php artisan tinker
>>> \App\Models\Payment::getObservableEvents()

# 2. Clear caches
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear

# 3. Check logs
tail storage/logs/laravel.log
```

### Incorrect Balances?
```bash
# Recalculate all balances
php artisan tinker
>>> \App\Models\Cashbook::recalculateBalances()
```

### Want to Start Fresh?
```bash
# Clear and regenerate
php artisan cashbook:generate --clear --opening-balance=YOUR_AMOUNT
```

## 🎓 For Developers

### Add New Transaction Type
1. Create observer in `app/Observers/YourModelObserver.php`
2. Implement `created()`, `updated()`, `deleted()` methods
3. Register in `AppServiceProvider::registerCashbookObservers()`
4. Add to generation command (optional)

### Modify Cash Payment Detection
Edit `CashbookService::isCashPayment()`:
```php
protected function isCashPayment(string $method): bool
{
    $cashMethods = ['cash', 'Cash', 'efectivo']; // Add more
    return in_array($method, $cashMethods);
}
```

## 📞 Support

**Issues?** Check:
1. Laravel log: `storage/logs/laravel.log`
2. Database connection: `.env` file
3. Migrations ran: `php artisan migrate:status`
4. Observers registered: Check `AppServiceProvider.php`
