# Implementation Summary - Branch PayBills & Loan Preview

## Date: November 10, 2025

## Overview
Successfully implemented two major features:
1. **Branch-specific M-Pesa PayBill configurations** with admin warnings
2. **Editable loan application preview** for admins before approval

---

## Feature 1: Branch-Specific PayBill Management

### Problem Solved
- Previously, all branches used hardcoded PayBill credentials
- No way for admins to configure branch-specific PayBills
- No warnings when branches lacked M-Pesa configuration
- Risk of payment routing errors

### Solution Implemented

#### 1. Updated Branch Model (`users/models.py`)
**Changes:**
- Modified `get_mpesa_shortcode()` to return only configured value (NO defaults)
- Modified `get_mpesa_consumer_key()` to return only configured value (NO defaults)
- Modified `get_mpesa_consumer_secret()` to return only configured value (NO defaults)
- **Removed ALL hardcoded fallback credentials** - every branch must be configured manually

**🔴 NO Default Credentials:**
```python
ALL branches (including main branch) must be manually configured by admin.
No hardcoded PayBill, Consumer Key, or Consumer Secret exists in the system.
```

#### 2. Enhanced Branch Admin (`users/admin.py`)
**New Features:**
- **Visual Status Indicators:**
  - ✓ Green badge for configured branches
  - 🔴 Red badge for unconfigured branches (ALL branches including main)

- **User Count Column:** Shows number of users per branch
- **Critical Error Messages:** Shows 🔴 CRITICAL ERROR when saving ANY branch without M-Pesa config
- **Enhanced Fieldset:** Clear instructions that NO defaults exist - manual configuration required
- **Dashboard Warnings:** Shows ALL unconfigured branches (including main branch)

**Admin Interface Improvements:**
```python
- Added: mpesa_config_status column with color-coded badges
- Added: user_count column to see branch size
- Added: Warning banner in M-Pesa Configuration section
- Added: Save warnings for unconfigured branches
- Added: Changelist context with unconfigured branch tracking
```

#### 3. Updated Payment Processing (`payments/branch_mpesa_service.py`)
**Changes:**
- `_get_consumer_key()` now validates branch configuration
- `_get_consumer_secret()` now validates branch configuration  
- `_get_shortcode()` now validates branch configuration
- Raises `ValueError` if branch lacks required credentials
- Ensures only configured branches can process payments

**Validation Logic:**
```python
if branch.has_mpesa_config():
    # Use branch-specific credentials
else:
    # Raise ValueError - NO branch can process payments without configuration
    # This applies to ALL branches including main branch
```

## Feature 2: Editable Loan Application Preview

### Problem Solved
- Admins couldn't review loan calculations before approval
- No way to edit loan amounts/fees before creating loan
- Risk of approving incorrect loan terms
- No borrower context during approval

### Solution Implemented

#### 1. Updated Loan Application Admin (`loans/admin.py`)
**Changes:**
- Made `interest_amount`, `processing_fee_amount`, `total_amount` **editable** (removed from readonly_fields)
- Added `repayment_method` to loan request fieldset
- Added **"Review & Edit" action button** in list display
- Added **preview_link** column for pending applications
- Added **informational descriptions** to fieldsets
- Added **auto-recalculation** when amount or duration changes
- Added **summary message** showing loan details after save
- Improved **error handling** in bulk approval actions

**New Admin Methods:**
```python
- preview_link(): Shows "Review & Edit" button for pending applications
- save_model(): Recalculates amounts when loan parameters change
- Shows loan summary after save for verification
```

#### 2. Custom Admin Template
**Created:** `templates/admin/loans/loanapplication/change_form.html`

**Features:**
- **Loan Preview Panel** (gradient purple background):
  - Principal Amount
  - Interest Amount
  - Processing Fee
  - Total Amount
  - Duration
  - Product Name

- **Borrower Information Panel**:
  - Full Name
  - Phone Number
  - ID Number
  - Branch
  - Monthly Income

- **Info Banner**: Instructions for reviewing and editing
- **Responsive Grid Layout**: Works on all screen sizes
- **Professional Styling**: Modern UI with backdrop blur effects

**Visual Design:**
```css
- Gradient header panel (purple)
- Grid layout for loan details
- Separate borrower info section
- Warning and info banners
- Professional color scheme
```

## Testing Checklist

### Branch PayBill Configuration
- [ ] Access admin panel → Branches
- [ ] Verify main branch shows "Using Default" status
- [ ] Create/edit other branch without M-Pesa config
- [ ] Confirm red "NOT CONFIGURED" warning appears
- [ ] Add M-Pesa credentials to branch
- [ ] Verify status changes to green "Configured"
- [ ] Save branch and check for warning messages
- [ ] Verify user count displays correctly

### Loan Application Preview
- [ ] Access admin panel → Loan Applications
- [ ] Click on pending application
- [ ] Verify preview panel displays at top
- [ ] Check all loan amounts are showing
- [ ] Verify borrower info panel displays
- [ ] Edit requested amount
- [ ] Save and verify amounts recalculate
- [ ] Edit interest/processing fee manually
- [ ] Save and verify custom amounts are preserved
- [ ] Approve loan and verify it creates correctly

### Payment Processing
- [ ] Assign borrower to branch
- [ ] Verify borrower's branch has M-Pesa config
- [ ] Test payment through C2B callback
- [ ] Verify payment routes to correct branch
- [ ] Check payment processes successfully
- [ ] Test with unconfigured branch (should fail gracefully)

## Deployment Instructions

### Step 1: Backup
```bash
# Backup database before deploying
python manage.py dumpdata > backup_before_paybill_update.json
```

### Step 2: Deploy Code
```bash
# Pull latest changes
git pull origin main

# No migrations needed (model fields already exist)
# Changes are only to methods and admin interface
```

### Step 3: Configure Branches
1. Log into admin panel
2. Go to **Users → Branches**
3. For **ALL branches** (including main branch):
   - Add M-Pesa Shortcode (PayBill number)
   - Add Consumer Key
   - Add Consumer Secret
   - Add Passkey (if using STK Push)
   - **NO branch can process payments without complete configuration**

### Step 4: Assign Users to Branches
1. Go to **Users → Custom users**
2. For each borrower/client:
   - Set their Branch field
   - Save the user

### Step 5: Test
1. Review branches list - check for red warnings
2. Test loan application preview
3. Test small payment through each branch's PayBill
4. Monitor M-Pesa transaction logs

---

## Known Limitations

1. **No automatic M-Pesa URL registration** - Must be done manually for each PayBill
2. **No migration needed** - All model fields already exist, only methods changed
3. **Passkey still optional** - Required only for STK Push, not C2B
4. **NO default credentials** - Every branch must be manually configured (increased security)

## Future Enhancements

### Potential Improvements
- [ ] Add "Test Connection" button in branch admin
- [ ] Auto-register C2B URLs when branch is saved
- [ ] Branch performance dashboard
- [ ] Payment routing logs per branch
- [ ] Bulk branch configuration import
- [ ] Branch-specific receipt templates
- [ ] API endpoint for branch configuration
- [ ] Mobile app integration for branch selection
