## 🔑 Key Functions

### 1. **Default Action (empty $do)** - Outstanding Bills Report
**Location**: Lines 78-159  
**Purpose**: Display service bills with outstanding debt balances

**Function Signature**:
```php
// Parameters: client, from, to, bill_no
$client = $_POST['client'];
$bill_no = $_POST['bill_no']; 
$start_date = $_REQUEST['from'];
$end_date = $_REQUEST['to'];
```

**Process Flow**:
1. Build WHERE clause based on filters
2. Query `bills` table for matching records
3. Calculate payment amounts from `clientdebtchange` 
4. Filter bills with remaining debt (`waitvalue > 0`)
5. Display filtered results with payment totals

**Key Features**:
- Client-specific filtering
- Date range filtering on `billdate`
- Bill number exact match search
- Outstanding debt calculation: `waitvalue - total_payments`
- Payment total calculation: `cashvalue + cardvalue + companycarry + payments`

---

### 2. **show** - Paid Bills Summary
**Location**: Lines 160-226  
**Purpose**: Show summary of bills that have received payments

**Function Signature**:
```php
// Parameters: client, from, to, bill_no  
$client = $_POST['client'];
$bill_id = $_POST['bill_no'];
$start_date = $_REQUEST['from'];
$end_date = $_REQUEST['to'];
```

**Process Flow**:
1. Build WHERE clause for `clientdebtchange` table
2. Query bills that have payment records
3. Calculate totals for each bill
4. Generate summary with totals across all bills

**Calculations**:
```php
$waitvalue = $Bill_detail->waitvalue - $dept_Bill_detail->clientdebtchangeamount;
$total_payed = $Bill_detail->cashvalue + $Bill_detail->cardvalue + 
               $Bill_detail->companycarry + $dept_Bill_detail->clientdebtchangeamount;
```

**Template Variables**:
- `$total_bills` - Sum of all bill final values
- `$total_wait_bills` - Sum of all remaining debt
- `$total_payed_bills` - Sum of all payments made

---

### 3. **show_details** - Individual Bill Payment History
**Location**: Lines 227-291  
**Purpose**: Detailed payment breakdown for a specific bill

**Function Signature**:
```php
$bill_no = $_GET['id']; // Bill number to analyze
```

**Process Flow**:
1. Load bill master data by bill number
2. Extract bill totals and client information
3. Query all payment records for this bill
4. Calculate running balance after each payment
5. Display chronological payment history

**Running Balance Calculation**:
```php
if ($x == 1) {
    $wait_before = $waitvalue;
    $wait_aftre = $wait_before - ($cardvalue + $cashvalue + $companycarry + $clientdebtchangeamount);
} else {
    $wait_before = $wait_aftre;
    $wait_aftre = $wait_before - $clientdebtchangeamount;
}
```

**Output Data**:
- Sequential payment history with running totals
- Payment types and dates
- Remaining balance after each transaction
- Complete audit trail for bill settlement

## 🧮 Calculation Methods

### Outstanding Debt Calculation
```php
// For each bill, calculate remaining debt
$waitvalue = $cli_bill_val->waitvalue - $client_dept_change->clientdebtchangeamount;

// Only include bills with remaining debt
if ($waitvalue > 0) {
    // Include in outstanding bills report
}
```

### Total Payment Calculation  
```php
$total_payed = $cashvalue + $cardvalue + $companycarry + $client_dept_change_amount;
// cashvalue: Cash payments on bill
// cardvalue: Card payments on bill  
// companycarry: Company credit applied
// client_dept_change_amount: Additional payments via debt system
```

### Running Balance for Payment History
```php
// First payment includes all bill payments
if ($x == 1) {
    $wait_before = $waitvalue;
    $wait_aftre = $wait_before - ($cardvalue + $cashvalue + $companycarry + $clientdebtchangeamount);
}
// Subsequent payments
else {
    $wait_before = $wait_aftre;
    $wait_aftre = $wait_before - $clientdebtchangeamount;
}
```

## 🔒 Security & Permissions

### Authentication
- All actions require authentication via `include_once("../public/authentication.php")`
- User session validation before any database operations

### Input Validation
- POST parameters validated for client selection
- Date parameters checked for proper format
- Bill numbers validated as integers

---

## 📊 Performance Considerations

### Database Optimization
1. **Indexes Required**:
   - `bills(clientid, billdate)` for client/date filtering
   - `bills(billno)` for bill number lookups
   - `clientdebtchange(billid)` for payment aggregation

2. **Query Performance**:
   - Efficient WHERE clause construction
   - Proper date range filtering with time stamps
   - Aggregation of payments per bill using `sumByBillId()`

---

## 🐛 Common Issues & Troubleshooting

### 1. **Incorrect Outstanding Amounts**
**Issue**: Outstanding debt calculations don't match actual amounts  
**Cause**: Missing payment records or incorrect payment linking

**Debug**:
```sql
-- Check payment sum for specific bill
SELECT SUM(clientdebtchangeamount) 
FROM clientdebtchange 
WHERE billid = [BILL_NUMBER];

-- Verify bill amounts
SELECT waitvalue, cashvalue, cardvalue, companycarry 
FROM bills 
WHERE billno = [BILL_NUMBER];
```

### 2. **Missing Bills in Reports**
**Issue**: Bills not appearing in outstanding or paid reports  
**Cause**: Date range issues or filtering problems

**Fix**: Ensure proper date formatting and check filter logic:
```php
// Proper date filtering
$where .= ' and date(billdate) >= "' . $start_date . '" and date(billdate) <= "' . $end_date . '"';
```

## 🧪 Testing Scenarios

### Test Case 1: Outstanding Bills Accuracy
```
1. Create service bill with partial payment
2. Verify outstanding amount calculation
3. Make additional payment
4. Confirm updated outstanding balance
5. Check bill removal when fully paid
```

### Test Case 2: Payment History Completeness
```
1. Select bill with multiple payments
2. Verify all payments appear in history
3. Check running balance calculations
4. Confirm payment dates and amounts
```
