## 🧮 Calculation Methods

### Discount Processing
```php
// Fixed amount discount
if ($buybilldiscountrype == 1) {
    $discountvalue = $buybilldiscount;
}
// Percentage discount
else {
    $discountvalue = ($buybilltotalbill / 100) * $buybilldiscount;
}
```

### Tax Calculation
```php
$taxvalue = $buybillaftertotalbill - ($buybilltotalbill - $discountvalue);
```

### Average Price Calculation
```php
// Weighted average for new purchases
$newAveragePrice = (($currentQty * $currentAvgPrice) + ($newQty * $newPrice)) / 
                   ($currentQty + $newQty);
```

### Multi-Currency Conversion
```php
// Convert to main currency
$amountInMainCurrency = $foreignAmount * $currencyFactor;
```

---

## 🔒 Security & Permissions

### User Permission Checks
```php
// Authentication required for most operations
include_once("../public/authentication.php");
```

### Input Sanitization
- All `$_GET` and `$_POST` parameters are filtered
- Numeric IDs cast to integer
- SQL injection prevented by DAO layer parameterized queries
- User session validation for all operations

---

## 🐛 Common Issues & Troubleshooting

### 1. **Negative Inventory After Returns**
**Issue**: Store quantity becomes negative after return operations  
**Cause**: Return quantity exceeds available inventory

**Debug**:
```sql
SELECT storeid, productid, productquantity 
FROM storedetail 
WHERE productquantity < 0;
```

### 2. **Average Price Calculation Errors**
**Issue**: Product average prices become incorrect  
**Cause**: Currency conversion issues or discount calculation problems

**Fix**:
```php
// Verify currency factor
$cFactor = ($cFactor > 0) ? $cFactor : 1;

// Ensure positive quantities
$productChangeAmount = abs($productChangeAmount);
```

### 3. **Serial Number Duplicates**
**Issue**: Duplicate serial numbers generated  
**Cause**: Race condition in serial generation

**Solution**: Enhanced uniqueness check in `getserail()` function
