The name on an invoice means two different things. On an internal invoice it is a
SITE, transcribed from the invoice's own description. On an external invoice it is
the SUPPLIER - and the PDF does not print the supplier's company name at all, so
there is nothing to transcribe and a human has to type it.
`invoices.site` stays the single field; the column header follows the page (Site on
Internal, Supplier on External) and only the external one is editable, via
components/SupplierCell.tsx and PATCH /api/invoices/:id/site. It saves on blur or
Enter, never per keystroke, and an empty value clears the name so a stray
description fragment can be removed rather than displayed as a supplier.
Sites stop taking their names from external invoices, in both places:
- syncSitesFromInvoices only creates sites from internal invoices, so a job
description can never be registered as a yard.
- buildSiteSummaries only counts internal invoice lines towards a site, which is
what /sites and the dashboard's per-site chart read.
This is the "Move containers" case. PHI 192's description is "Crane Truck Hire 17
September 2026 Move containers", which had registered a site literally called
"Move containers" - a job, not a yard - on /sites, on the dashboard's per-site
chart and in the plant register's site filter. The record stays in the collection
(sites are never deleted) but is no longer surfaced; the count went 13 -> 12.
External income is not lost by this - it is booked to a machine and still appears on
/income and /charts. It is simply not a site.
The intake route stops resolving an external invoice's text against the site list,
which would have invented a site out of a description, and reports needsSupplier so
the import toast says the name is outstanding.
npm run seed now captures existing invoice names before it wipes the collection and
re-applies them where data/source does not specify one - the same data-loss trap the
uploaded PDFs already had. A JSON name always wins, so internal sites are unchanged.
Verified: typecheck clean, 45 tests pass (4 new, covering the "Move containers" case
directly), production build green, the new PATCH route 401s when anonymous, and
/sites plus both invoice pages pass the mobile checklist at 375x812 and 768x1024. The
supplier edit was exercised end to end and the test value reverted.
Still open: the three external invoices (PHI 178/186/192) have no supplier name yet
and none can be derived from the data. They show "Set supplier" until the client
supplies them.
Note: lib/rows.ts, lib/server-data.ts and the running/insurance feature are
someone else's in-flight work and were deliberately left uncommitted here.
Renames the existing /income/invoices page to "Internal Invoices" and adds a
sibling /income/external-invoices page, splitting ONE `invoices` collection by
the debtor printed on the invoice: a Mega group company is internal, anything
else is external.
Never two collections. An invoice must not be able to exist on neither page, and
the halves must stay reconcilable against /income. Both routes render through the
single components/InvoiceRegisterPage.tsx so they cannot drift apart.
lib/invoice-party-policy.json holds the group entity list and lib/invoice-party.ts
does the matching. Matching is on debtor name OR debtor_no, never name alone:
all three external invoices (PHI 178/186/192) carry an empty debtor name and only
a third-party number, so a name-only match would misfile every one of them. An
invoice naming neither is never internal - it lands on External and is reported
as unclassified rather than silently filed.
The split is 16 internal / 3 external across the 19 invoices in the register.
Also fixes three things the split would otherwise break:
- Booking a line, importing a PDF and retrying an intake can all land on either
side depending on the debtor, so the five write paths only revalidated
/income/invoices and would have left the other page stale. They now call
revalidateInvoicePages() from lib/invoice-revalidate.ts. Route paths live in
lib/invoice-routes.ts, which imports no next/* so a client component may import
it; the revalidate helper imports next/cache and is server-only.
- A site's "Go and assign them" link hard-coded the internal path, so a site whose
outstanding lines sit on external invoices would dead-end. SiteSummary now
carries the outstanding lines split by party.
- verify-auth-routes.mjs now covers the new route.
The two routes are siblings by design: isGroupActive matches a child by path
prefix, so a nested /income/invoices/external would highlight both leaves at once.
Verified: typecheck clean, 41 tests pass (7 new), production build green,
anonymous access to both routes 307s to /login, and the mobile checklist passes at
375x812 and 768x1024 - no horizontal page scroll, no tap target under 44px, no
text under 12px. The nested line-item table still scrolls inside its own container
without stretching the outer table.
Note: lib/rows.ts, lib/server-data.ts and the running/insurance feature are
someone else's in-flight work and were deliberately left uncommitted here.
PHI 179 was refused: "Machine lines total R5265 but the invoice subtotal is
R13730". Three separate faults, each of which only this invoice exposed.
1. The parser read ONE line per machine. A machine hired over more than one
period is printed as one heading followed by a repeating block per charge,
and PHI 179 is a single CT01 crane truck billed on 4, 16 and 18 Sep at
R5 265 + R3 200 + R5 265. The parser only ever looked at the first block,
so two thirds of the invoice went missing and the arithmetic check — which
did its job — rejected it. extractLines() now walks y-banded rows and emits
one line per money row, all carrying the machine's code. A machine billed
once still yields exactly one line, which is what PHI 168/169 do.
The banding matters: pdfjs splits one printed row across two y positions
(the TOTAL sits ~2pt above the rest), so the fixed +-12pt window the old
code used was never a row, it was a coincidence.
2. siteFromDescription required the description to START with "Hire Plant" or
"Plant Hire". PHI 179 reads "Crane Truck Hire Sep 2026 Cosmo" — it leads
with the machine type — so the regex returned "" and the invoice linked to
no site at all. The month/year pair is the part every description shares,
so that is the anchor now.
3. Even read correctly the site is "Cosmo", where every other invoice says
"Cosmo City". Sites are DERIVED from the invoice wording, so saving the
abbreviation would create a second "Cosmo" and split this customer across
two rows on /sites. resolveSiteName() folds a shorter whole-word prefix
onto a site already in the register, one direction only, so a genuinely new
site is still recorded as new.
Also: a problem invoice stored its PDF with no way to open it. The inbox
reported the failure but not the document behind it, and /api/invoices/:id/
document only serves imported invoices — the one case you most want to inspect.
New GET /api/invoices/intake/:id/document, plus a PDF link on each inbox row.
Verified: PHI 179 reconciles in full (R13 730 + R2 059.50 VAT = R15 789.50,
three lines, each balancing). PHI 168 and PHI 169 still reproduce their hand
extraction field for field, including line count. 40 tests, typecheck clean.
Two things this question turned up.
The upload DID store the PDF, but on the intake record, never on the invoice
— so "Open invoice PDF" 404'd for every invoice imported through the app
while working for the older ones. The file now lives on invoices.source_pdf
and the intake record keeps only the provenance (who sent it, what was
parsed), rather than a second copy of the file. The document endpoint also
falls back to the intake record, which makes the seven already-stored
documents reachable again without a migration. All 10 now open.
The machine combobox searched only the register's own words, so an invoice
line reading "CB22 2.2 TON Roller Vibration" could never be matched to the
asset filed as "CAT 2,4TON RV" — the words simply were not in the list. The
line's own invoice code and description are now searchable too, so the two
sides of the same machine can actually be found from either direction.

A container line prints a generic code ("MPLANT05") that the plant register
does not carry, so it had no asset to book to and sat unbooked forever. Each
site now records the container it hires — the code the invoice uses and the
plant item it books to — and a line arriving on an invoice for that site is
allocated to it automatically on import.
The lookup is scoped to the invoice's OWN site, not globally: two sites can
each hire an "MPLANT05" unit, and each line must land on the unit actually at
its own site. Covered by unit tests rather than by deleting a live invoice
and re-importing it.
A code with no asset is refused on save — it would auto-allocate to nothing —
and both or neither is required.
Assigned and booked: Autumns Gate "MPLANT05" -> SC02, The Hills "MPLANT05" ->
SC03, and The Hills' stuck line is now booked and earning. Container lines on
future invoices for those two sites will be booked without anyone touching them.

The container lines (MPLANT04/MPLANT05) have no matching plant item, so they
sat unbooked forever with no way to account for them. They can now be booked
to a SITE instead.
`sites` is a new PocketBase collection derived from the invoices — each
distinct invoice site becomes a site, created as invoices are imported. They
are never hand-typed, and never deleted: a site can carry notes and hold line
bookings, so removing one would orphan that history.
/sites lists every site with its revenue ex VAT, its VAT, the total billed,
how many invoices and machines it carries, and how many lines are still
outstanding. Each row links to a detail page listing the site's invoices and
every line item with its ex-VAT/VAT/total split. Nav: Dashboard is now a
group with Overview and Sites.
Booking a line to a site posts NO income — there is no machine to carry it —
it only marks the line accounted for, so it stops showing as unbooked. Exactly
one of booked_asset / booked_site is ever set, and a line with neither is what
surfaces as unbooked everywhere.
One container per site, as specified: once a machine-less line has taken a
site, that site is withheld from the next one's picker and shown disabled
("already has one") rather than hidden. Free sites sort to the top. The rule is
enforced server-side too, so it does not depend on the UI being the only way in —
re-posting a taken site is refused with 409. Verified: booking The Hills, then
trying again, then taking West Park, and the remaining line sees 8 free and 2
taken. Clearing a booking frees its site.
The site picker only appears on lines that need it — no machine, or one already
booked to a site — so fully-booked rows keep a single control.
Also fixed the Sidebar's group-active check, which derived its prefix from the
first child. For a group whose first child is "/" that yields "/" and matched
every route, so Dashboard would have been highlighted on every page.
