BillItemFinanceDetails – Data Structure and Semantics

This document outlines the semantics and usage of each field within the BillItemFinanceDetails entity of the CareCode HIMS. This class captures the financial calculations per bill item, covering entered values, computed rates, and allocations from the overall bill.

total, netTotal, discount (Minus when money goes out)

1. Units and Packs

• Ampp / Vmpp items: User-entered quantities are in packs. System stores pack values directly, and unit values are calculated as:

  quantityByUnits = quantity × unitsPerPack
  

• Amp / Vmp items: Quantities are entered and stored in units. No further conversion required.

• All fields labeled with ByUnits store unit values, regardless of the item type.

2. Rates and Totals

Each financial component (gross, net, discount, tax, cost, expense) is tracked at 3 levels:

Level	Prefix Used	Notes
Line	line*	Calculated directly from user input per bill item
Bill	bill*	Portion of bill-level value allocated to this line (e.g. tax/expense)
Total	total*	Final value = line + bill allocation

Application Order: line → bill → total

If there are no bill-level values, then: lineTotal = total

3. Rate vs Value Conventions

• rate fields always represent the rate per entered quantity (i.e., per pack or per unit depending on the item).
• value = rate × quantity

Examples:

• lineGrossRate × quantity = lineGrossTotal
• lineNetRate × quantity = lineNetTotal

4. Cost Rate

• lineCostRate is calculated in units for all items.

• Formula:

  lineCostRate = totalPurchaseValueInUnits / (quantityInUnits + freeQuantityInUnits)

• This is explicitly calculated and assigned in the controller; it is not derived within the entity.

5. Return Handling

• Returns are processed as new bills with their own BillItemFinanceDetails.

• Original quantities returned are stored in:

  • returnQuantity, returnFreeQuantity, totalReturnQuantity

• Return rates may differ from original bill rates.

• Only returned quantities are stored and accumulated after each return.

6. Profit Margin

• Calculated in the controller.

• Common formula:

  profitMargin = valueAtRetailRate - valueAtCostRate

7. Allocation of Bill Components

• Bill-level expenses, taxes, and discounts (e.g., transport, promotional discounts) are not linked to individual items.

• They are proportionally allocated to each item based on:

  proportion = lineNetTotal / sum(lineNetTotal of all items)

• This applies to:

  • billDiscount, billExpense, billTax
  • And their respective rate fields
