## 🌐 URL Routes & Actions

| URL Parameter | Function Called | Description |
|---------------|----------------|-------------|
| `do=` (empty) or `do=show` | Default action | Category analysis interface |

### Report Parameters (REQUEST)
**Category Sales Rate Analysis**:
- `from` - Start date for analysis period
- `to` - End date for analysis period  
- `catid` - Product category ID (-1 for all)
- `numberid` - Movement threshold (show products with movement <= this number)

### Usage Examples
```
# Show slow-moving products in category 5 (threshold: 10 units)
catsellrateReportController.php?do=show&catid=5&numberid=10&from=2024-01-01&to=2024-12-31

# Show non-moving products (threshold: 0)  
catsellrateReportController.php?do=show&catid=3&numberid=0&from=2024-01-01&to=2024-12-31
```

---

## 🧮 Calculation Methods

### Net Movement Calculation
```php
// For each product, calculate net sales movement
$sellquantity = $StorereportEx->loadWithtablenamexandtypeforcatrateWithDate($productid, 1, 
                               $tablename, $tablename1, $tablename2, $tablename3, $tablename4, 
                               $startDate, $endDate)->productquantity;

$returnquantity = $StorereportEx->loadWithtablenamexandtypeforcatrateWithDate($productid, 0,
                                $tablename, $tablename1, $tablename2, $tablename3, $tablename4,
                                $startDate, $endDate)->productquantity;

$sellandreturn = $sellquantity - $returnquantity;
```

### Slow-Moving Product Identification
```php
// Apply threshold filter to identify slow-moving products
if ($sellandreturn <= $numberid) {
    $newarray[$data->productid] = $data;
    $totalnumofsells += $sellandreturn;
}
```

### Zero-Movement Product Detection
```php
$productsArray = $productExt->getCatProducts($catid);
foreach ($productsArray as $product) {
    if (!in_array($product->productId, $productArr)) {
        // Product has no movement in the period
        $proObj = new stdClass();
        $proObj->productid = $product->productId;
        $proObj->productName = $product->productName;
        $proObj->sellquantity = 0;
        $proObj->returnquantity = 0;
        $proObj->sellandreturn = 0;
        $newarray[$product->productId] = $proObj;
    }
}
```

## 📊 Performance Considerations

### Database Optimization Tips
1. **Required Indexes**:
   - `storereport(productid, tablename, storereporttype)`
   - `product(productCatId, productId)`
   - `sellbilldetail(sellbilldetailproductid)`
   - `returnsellbilldetail(returnsellbilldetailproductid)`

2. **Query Performance Issues**:
   - **N+1 Query Problem**: Each product requires 2 separate queries (sell + return)
   - **Multiple System Queries**: Each calculation hits 5 different table sources
   - **Large Category Analysis**: Categories with many products can be slow

### Optimization Recommendations
```sql
-- Instead of individual product queries, use aggregated approach
SELECT 
    productid,
    SUM(CASE WHEN storereporttype = 1 THEN productquantity ELSE 0 END) as sellquantity,
    SUM(CASE WHEN storereporttype = 0 THEN productquantity ELSE 0 END) as returnquantity,
    SUM(CASE WHEN storereporttype = 1 THEN productquantity ELSE 0 END) - 
    SUM(CASE WHEN storereporttype = 0 THEN productquantity ELSE 0 END) as netmovement
FROM storereport 
WHERE productid IN (SELECT productId FROM product WHERE productCatId = ?)
AND tablename IN (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
AND storereportdate BETWEEN ? AND ?
GROUP BY productid
HAVING netmovement <= ?;
```

---

## 🔒 Security & Permissions

### Access Control
```php
include_once("../public/authentication.php");
```

### Input Handling
```php
$startDate = $_REQUEST['from'];
$endDate = $_REQUEST['to']; 
$catid = $_REQUEST['catid'];
$numberid = $_REQUEST['numberid'];
```

**Security Note**: Direct use of `$_REQUEST` without sanitization poses potential security risks.

---

## 🐛 Common Issues & Troubleshooting

### 1. **No Products in Report**
**Issue**: Report shows no products despite category having items  
**Cause**: All products exceed movement threshold or date range has no activity

**Debug**:
```sql
-- Check if products exist in category
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM product WHERE productCatId = {catid} AND conditions = 0;

-- Check movement in date range
SELECT productid, SUM(productquantity) FROM storereport 
WHERE productid IN (SELECT productId FROM product WHERE productCatId = {catid})
AND storereportdate BETWEEN '{startDate}' AND '{endDate}'
GROUP BY productid;
```

### 2. **Performance Issues with Large Categories**
**Issue**: Report times out or loads very slowly  
**Cause**: N+1 query problem with large product counts

**Solution**: Implement batch processing or aggregated queries

### 3. **Inconsistent Movement Calculations**
**Issue**: Net movement doesn't match expected values  
**Cause**: Missing data from one of the 5 transaction sources

**Debug**: Check each transaction source individually:
```sql
-- Check each table source
SELECT tablename, COUNT(*) FROM storereport WHERE productid = {id} GROUP BY tablename;
```

---

## 🧪 Testing Scenarios

### Test Case 1: Slow-Moving Product Analysis
```
1. Select category with mixed activity products
2. Set threshold to 5 units
3. Set 3-month date range
4. Verify products with ≤5 net sales appear
5. Check calculations: sells - returns = net movement
```

### Test Case 2: Zero-Movement Detection
```
1. Select category with some inactive products  
2. Set threshold to 0
3. Verify products with no sales appear in results
4. Confirm zero quantities are displayed correctly
```

### Test Case 3: Multi-System Integration
```
1. Create test data in both sales and optical systems
2. Run analysis covering both systems
3. Verify movements from all sources are included
4. Check that returns are properly subtracted
```
