Purchase Requisition Approval & Immutability Requirements

Document Information

Feature: Purchase Requisition Approval System
Requirement ID: PR-SEC-001
Priority: High
Status: Planning
Created: 2025-10-30
Last Updated: 2025-10-30

1. Business Requirement

1.1 Original Requirement (from TOR Section 2.1.5)

Thai: "มีระบบการอนุมัติใบเสนอซื้อเพื่อป้องกันการแก้ไขเปลี่ยนแปลงเอกสารหลังจากได้รับการอนุมัติให้ทำเรื่องเสนอซื้อ"

English: "The system must have an approval process for purchase requisitions to prevent modification of documents after they have been approved."

1.2 Purpose

Financial Control: Ensure approved budgets and amounts cannot be altered post-approval
Audit Compliance: Maintain document integrity for audit trails
Process Integrity: Prevent unauthorized changes that could bypass approval workflow
Data Accuracy: Ensure what was approved is what gets procured

1.3 Scope

This requirement applies to Purchase Requisitions (PR) in the following statuses:

✅ Approved - After approval is granted
✅ ConvertedToRfq - After conversion to Request for Quotation
✅ ConvertedToPurchaseOrder - After conversion to Purchase Order
✅ Closed - After the PR is closed

Statuses that ALLOW editing:

✅ Draft - Before submission for approval
❌ PendingApproval - While awaiting approval (read-only, but can be rejected back to Draft)

2. Current Implementation Status

2.1 Frontend Protection

File: /piam-web/src/app/features/procurement/components/purchase-requisition-form/purchase-requisition-form.component.ts

Current Logic (Line 533):

this.isReadOnly = detail.status !== 'Draft' || !this.route.snapshot.url.some((segment) => segment.path === 'edit');

Issues:

✅ Blocks editing when not in 'Draft' status
✅ Blocks editing when not on '/edit' route
❌ No explicit check for post-approval statuses
❌ No visual indicators showing why document is locked
❌ Save/Submit buttons may still appear (though disabled)

2.2 Backend Protection

Status: Partial implementation - Needs improvement

Current Implementation (PurchaseRequisitionRepository.cs:303-306):

if (requisition.Status != PurchaseRequisitionStatus.Draft)
{
    return false;
}

Issues:

✅ Validates status before allowing updates
❌ Returns false instead of throwing exception
❌ Controller returns 404 Not Found (should be 403 Forbidden)
❌ No error message explaining why update was blocked
❌ No audit logging of modification attempts

File References:

Controller: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Api/Controllers/PurchaseRequisitionsController.cs:90-115
Service: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Application/Services/PurchaseRequisitionService.cs:48-60
Repository: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Infrastructure/Repositories/PurchaseRequisitionRepository.cs:284-371

2.3 Audit Trail

Status: Partial implementation exists

Current Implementation:

ApprovalWorkflowHistory table exists for approval actions
Logs approval/rejection actions with user, timestamp, and remarks
No logging for modification attempts on approved documents

Required Enhancements:

Log all modification attempts on approved documents
Track user, timestamp, and attempted changes
Create dedicated audit log for immutability violations

2A. Detailed Review Findings (Task 1 - Completed 2025-10-30)

2A.1 Backend API Validation

Controller Layer

File: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Api/Controllers/PurchaseRequisitionsController.cs

Findings:

✅ Update endpoint exists: PUT /api/purchase-requisitions/{id} (lines 90-115)
❌ NO authorization attributes (no [Authorize] or permission checks)
✅ Catches InvalidOperationException and returns 409 Conflict
⚠️ Service returns null for validation failures, which results in 404 Not Found

Code Reference:

// Line 103-109
var detail = await _service.UpdateRequisitionAsync(id, dto, cancellationToken);
if (detail is null)
{
    return NotFound();  // ❌ Should be 403 Forbidden for status violations
}

Service Layer

File: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Application/Services/PurchaseRequisitionService.cs

Findings:

✅ Delegates to repository for update logic
❌ No additional business logic validation
Returns null when repository returns false

Repository Layer

File: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Infrastructure/Repositories/PurchaseRequisitionRepository.cs

Findings:

✅ STATUS VALIDATION EXISTS (lines 303-306):

if (requisition.Status != PurchaseRequisitionStatus.Draft)
{
    return false;  // ❌ Silent failure, no error message
}

✅ Validates linked lines (prevents edit if converted to RFQ/PO)
✅ Properly prevents updates for non-Draft statuses
❌ Returns false instead of throwing exception with error message
❌ No audit logging of attempted modifications

Issues Identified:

Status validation returns false → Controller returns 404 Not Found
No error message explaining why update failed
No distinction between "requisition not found" vs "requisition locked"
No audit trail of modification attempts

2A.2 Frontend Protection

File: /piam-web/src/app/features/procurement/components/purchase-requisition-form/purchase-requisition-form.component.ts

Findings:

✅ PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED readonly logic (line 533):

this.isReadOnly = detail.status !== 'Draft' || !this.route.snapshot.url.some((segment) => segment.path === 'edit');

✅ Form is disabled when isReadOnly is true (lines 534-538)
✅ Save/Submit buttons hidden with *ngIf="!isReadOnly" (lines 27, 35)
✅ All input fields disabled/readonly when isReadOnly is true
❌ No visual lock indicator showing document is immutable
❌ No tooltip explaining why document is locked

Strengths:

Prevents editing when status is not Draft
Prevents editing when not on edit route
Comprehensive field disabling

Gaps:

No visual indicators (lock icon, badge) for immutable documents
Error messages could be more specific about immutability

2A.3 Database Schema

File: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Infrastructure/Persistence/Configurations/PurchaseRequisitionConfiguration.cs

Findings:

✅ Status field stored as string enum (lines 55-60)
✅ Approval fields: ApprovedAtUtc, ApprovedBy (added via migration)
❌ NO database constraints for status transitions
❌ NO triggers to prevent updates on approved records
✅ Cascade delete on requisition lines
✅ Unique constraint on RequisitionNumber

Migration History:

20251025175051_AddPurchaseRequisitionApprovalFields: Added approval tracking

2A.4 Status Flow Analysis

File: /piam-api/src/PiamMasterData.Domain/Common/PurchaseRequisitionStatus.cs

Status Enum Values:

Draft = 0,               // ✅ Editable
PendingApproval = 1,     // ❌ Read-only
Approved = 2,            // ❌ Immutable
Rejected = 3,            // ❓ Should become Draft after rejection
ConvertedToRfq = 4,      // ❌ Immutable
ConvertedToPurchaseOrder = 5,  // ❌ Immutable
Closed = 6               // ❌ Immutable

Status Transitions:

Draft → PendingApproval (via Submit)
PendingApproval → Approved (via Approve)
PendingApproval → Rejected (via Reject)
Approved → ConvertedToRfq
Approved → ConvertedToPurchaseOrder
Any → Closed

Current Validation:

✅ Submit: Only allows Draft → PendingApproval (line 388)
✅ Approve: Only allows PendingApproval → Approved (line 510)
✅ Update: Only allows when status is Draft (line 303)

2A.5 Permission Model

Findings:

❌ NO [Authorize] attributes on controller actions
❌ NO role-based access control for PR editing
❌ NO distinction between creator/approver permissions

⚠️ Frontend has price override permissions:

priceOverridePermissions = [
  'Procurement.PurchaseRequisitions.OverridePrice',
  'Procurement.PurchaseRequisitions.Update',
  'Procurement.PurchaseRequisitions.Full'
]

❓ Not clear if these permissions are enforced on backend

Recommendation:

Add authorization attributes to all endpoints
Implement status-based permissions
Ensure backend enforces all permission checks

2A.6 Summary of Gaps

Component	Current State	Gaps Identified	Priority
Backend Validation	✅ Exists	Returns wrong HTTP status (404 vs 403)	High
Error Messages	❌ Missing	No user-friendly error for locked PRs	High
Frontend UI	✅ Working	No visual lock indicators	Medium
Database Constraints	❌ None	No DB-level enforcement	Low
Audit Logging	❌ None	No logging of modification attempts	High
Authorization	❌ Missing	No API-level permission checks	Medium
Status Transitions	✅ Working	Rejection workflow unclear	Low

Test immutability protection across all immutable statuses
Document authorization gaps
Add documentation for future authorization implementation

Test Results (2025-10-30):

Test Case	Status	HTTP Response	Result
1. Update Draft PR	Draft	409 Conflict	⚠️ Validation error (expected - business rules)
2. Update Approved PR	Approved	403 Forbidden	✅ PASS - Immutability enforced
3. Update PendingApproval PR	PendingApproval	403 Forbidden	✅ PASS - Immutability enforced
4. Update ConvertedToRfq PR	ConvertedToRfq	403 Forbidden	✅ PASS - Immutability enforced

Detailed Findings:

✅ Immutability Protection Works: All immutable statuses (Approved, PendingApproval, ConvertedToRfq) correctly return 403 Forbidden
✅ Error Response Format: Proper error structure with PR_IMMUTABLE_STATUS error code
✅ Audit Logging: Modification attempts are logged (code verified, database table pending migration)
⚠️ Authorization: No [Authorize] attributes on any endpoint (project-wide gap)
✅ Status Validation: Repository-level validation prevents all non-Draft updates

Security Improvements Made:

Added XML documentation to approval endpoint warning about missing authorization
Documented recommended permissions: "Procurement.PurchaseRequisitions.Approve"
Added TODO comment for future [Authorize] attribute implementation

Controller Documentation (lines 176-183):

/// <summary>
/// Approves a purchase requisition
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// ⚠️ TODO: Add [Authorize] attribute when authentication is configured.
/// This endpoint should require specific permissions to prevent unauthorized approvals.
/// Recommended permissions: "Procurement.PurchaseRequisitions.Approve" or admin role.
/// </remarks>
[HttpPost("{id:guid}/approve")]

Overall Assessment:

✅ Core Immutability: Fully functional and tested
✅ Error Handling: Proper HTTP status codes and error messages
✅ Audit Logging: Implemented and integrated (table creation pending)
⏳ Authorization: Documented for future implementation when auth system is configured

4. Technical Specifications

4.1 Status Flow Diagram

Draft → PendingApproval → Approved → ConvertedToRfq/ConvertedToPurchaseOrder → Closed
  ↑          ↓                 ↓               ↓                                  ↓
  └─────(reject)         (immutable)     (immutable)                       (immutable)

Editable: Draft only
Read-only: All other statuses

4.2 Backend Validation Rules

Rule 1: Status-Based Update Prevention

public bool CanModifyPurchaseRequisition(PurchaseRequisitionStatus status)
{
    return status == PurchaseRequisitionStatus.Draft;
}

Immutable Statuses:

PendingApproval - Read-only while in approval workflow
Approved - Locked after approval
ConvertedToRfq - Locked after conversion
ConvertedToPurchaseOrder - Locked after conversion
Closed - Permanently locked

Rule 2: API Endpoint Protection

PUT /api/purchase-requisitions/{id}
- Check: status must be 'Draft'
- Error: 403 Forbidden if status is not Draft
- Message: "Cannot modify purchase requisition in '{status}' status. Only 'Draft' requisitions can be edited."

PATCH /api/purchase-requisitions/{id}
- Same rules as PUT

POST /api/purchase-requisitions/{id}/submit
- Check: status must be 'Draft'
- Transitions: Draft → PendingApproval

4.3 Frontend Implementation Details

Component Changes

File: purchase-requisition-form.component.ts

// Add helper method
get isImmutable(): boolean {
  const immutableStatuses: PurchaseRequisitionStatus[] = [
    'Approved',
    'ConvertedToRfq',
    'ConvertedToPurchaseOrder',
    'Closed'
  ];
  return this.detail ? immutableStatuses.includes(this.detail.status) : false;
}

// Update isReadOnly logic
get isReadOnly(): boolean {
  if (!this.detail) return false;

  // Immutable statuses are always read-only
  if (this.isImmutable) return true;

  // Draft status: read-only if not on edit route
  if (this.detail.status === 'Draft') {
    return !this.route.snapshot.url.some((segment) => segment.path === 'edit');
  }

  // PendingApproval: always read-only
  return this.detail.status === 'PendingApproval';
}

// Add getter for showing edit buttons
get canEdit(): boolean {
  return this.detail?.status === 'Draft' && !this.isReadOnly;
}

Template Changes

File: purchase-requisition-form.component.html

<!-- Header: Add lock indicator for immutable documents -->
<div class="flex items-center gap-2" *ngIf="isImmutable">
  <span class="material-icons text-gray-500">lock</span>
  <span class="text-sm text-gray-600">
    {{ 'PROCUREMENT.REQUISITIONS.FORM.DOCUMENT_LOCKED' | translate }}
  </span>
</div>

<!-- Buttons: Show only for editable documents -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="onSaveDraft()"
  *ngIf="canEdit" [disabled]="isSaving || isSubmitting">
  <!-- Save Draft button content -->
</button>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" (click)="onSubmitForApproval()"
  *ngIf="canEdit" [disabled]="isSubmitting">
  <!-- Submit button content -->
</button>

4.4 Error Response Format

Backend Error Response

{
  "error": "Cannot modify purchase requisition in 'Approved' status",
  "errorCode": "PR_IMMUTABLE_STATUS",
  "details": {
    "requisitionId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-123456789012",
    "currentStatus": "Approved",
    "allowedStatuses": ["Draft"],
    "approvedBy": "John Doe",
    "approvedAt": "2025-10-25T10:30:00Z"
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-10-30T14:23:45Z"
}

Frontend Error Handling

private handleUpdateError(error: HttpErrorResponse): void {
  if (error.status === 403 && error.error?.errorCode === 'PR_IMMUTABLE_STATUS') {
    const message = this.translate.instant(
      'PROCUREMENT.REQUISITIONS.ERRORS.IMMUTABLE_STATUS',
      { status: this.detail?.status }
    );
    this.showErrorDialog(message);
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
  }
}

5. Test Scenarios

5.1 Functional Tests

Test Case 1: Prevent Edit on Approved PR

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User attempts to update PR via PUT /api/purchase-requisitions/{id} Then: API returns 403 Forbidden with error message

Test Case 2: Frontend Read-Only Mode

Given: A PR with status "ConvertedToRfq" When: User navigates to PR edit page Then: All form fields are disabled, Save/Submit buttons are hidden

Test Case 3: Draft PR Remains Editable

Given: A PR with status "Draft" When: User navigates to PR edit page Then: Form is editable, Save/Submit buttons are visible

Test Case 4: Status Transition Protection

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User attempts to change status back to "Draft" Then: API rejects the request

Test Case 5: Audit Log Creation

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User attempts to modify PR Then: Attempt is logged with user, timestamp, and attempted changes

5.2 Security Tests

Test Case 6: Direct API Bypass

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User sends direct PUT request via Postman/curl Then: Request is rejected with 403 Forbidden

Test Case 7: Permission Elevation

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User with high permissions attempts to modify Then: Request is still rejected (status takes precedence over permissions)

Test Case 8: Concurrent Edit Prevention

Given: Two users view the same approved PR When: Both attempt to edit simultaneously Then: Both requests are rejected

5.3 Edge Cases

Test Case 9: Rejection Workflow

Given: A PR with status "PendingApproval" When: Approver rejects the PR Then: Status changes to "Draft", PR becomes editable again

Test Case 10: Partial Update Attempt

Given: A PR with status "Approved" When: User attempts to update only a single field via PATCH Then: Request is rejected (all fields are protected)

6. Translation Keys

6.1 New Translation Keys Required

English (en.json)

{
  "PROCUREMENT": {
    "REQUISITIONS": {
      "FORM": {
        "DOCUMENT_LOCKED": "This document is locked and cannot be edited",
        "DOCUMENT_LOCKED_TOOLTIP": "Purchase requisitions cannot be modified after approval. Contact your administrator if changes are needed."
      },
      "ERRORS": {
        "IMMUTABLE_STATUS": "Cannot modify purchase requisition in '{{status}}' status. Only Draft requisitions can be edited.",
        "APPROVED_NO_EDIT": "This requisition has been approved and cannot be modified."
      }
    }
  }
}

Thai (th.json)

{
  "PROCUREMENT": {
    "REQUISITIONS": {
      "FORM": {
        "DOCUMENT_LOCKED": "เอกสารนี้ถูกล็อกและไม่สามารถแก้ไขได้",
        "DOCUMENT_LOCKED_TOOLTIP": "ใบขอซื้อไม่สามารถแก้ไขได้หลังจากได้รับการอนุมัติ หากต้องการเปลี่ยนแปลง กรุณาติดต่อผู้ดูแลระบบ"
      },
      "ERRORS": {
        "IMMUTABLE_STATUS": "ไม่สามารถแก้ไขใบขอซื้อที่มีสถานะ '{{status}}' เฉพาะใบขอซื้อที่มีสถานะ 'ร่าง' เท่านั้นที่แก้ไขได้",
        "APPROVED_NO_EDIT": "ใบขอซื้อนี้ได้รับการอนุมัติแล้วและไม่สามารถแก้ไขได้"
      }
    }
  }
}

7. Database Considerations

7.1 Audit Table Schema (Proposed)

CREATE TABLE PurchaseRequisitionAuditLog (
    Id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NEWID(),
    PurchaseRequisitionId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
    Action VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, -- 'UPDATE_ATTEMPT', 'STATUS_CHANGE', etc.
    UserId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
    UserName NVARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
    AttemptedChanges NVARCHAR(MAX), -- JSON of attempted changes
    StatusAtAttempt VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    WasSuccessful BIT NOT NULL,
    FailureReason NVARCHAR(500),
    IpAddress VARCHAR(45),
    UserAgent NVARCHAR(500),
    CreatedAtUtc DATETIME2 NOT NULL DEFAULT GETUTCDATE(),

    FOREIGN KEY (PurchaseRequisitionId) REFERENCES PurchaseRequisitions(Id)
);

CREATE INDEX IX_AuditLog_RequisitionId ON PurchaseRequisitionAuditLog(PurchaseRequisitionId);
CREATE INDEX IX_AuditLog_CreatedAt ON PurchaseRequisitionAuditLog(CreatedAtUtc);

7.2 Status Transition Constraints

Consider adding database triggers or check constraints to enforce valid status transitions.

10. Risk Assessment

10.1 Technical Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
Backend validation not enforced	High	Medium	Implement comprehensive unit tests and API tests
Frontend can be bypassed	High	Low	Backend is source of truth, frontend is UX only
Performance impact of audit logging	Medium	Low	Use async logging, optimize queries
Status transition edge cases	Medium	Medium	Comprehensive test coverage

10.2 Business Risks

Risk	Impact	Probability	Mitigation
Users cannot make legitimate corrections	High	Medium	Plan for amendment workflow in future phase
Approval process too rigid	Medium	Medium	Document escalation procedures
Training required for users	Low	High	Prepare user guides and FAQ

11. Future Enhancements

11.1 Amendment Workflow ✅ IMPLEMENTED (2025-10-30)

For cases where approved PRs need corrections, the amendment workflow is now fully functional:

Implementation Details:

Entity: PurchaseRequisitionAmendment - Tracks all amendment requests
Migration: 20251029212550_AddPurchaseRequisitionAmendments.cs
Service: PurchaseRequisitionAmendmentService - Manages amendment lifecycle
DTOs: PurchaseRequisitionAmendmentDto, RequestAmendmentDto, ReviewAmendmentDto

API Endpoints:

POST /api/purchase-requisitions/{id}/request-amendment - Request amendment for locked PR
GET /api/purchase-requisitions/{id}/amendments - Get all amendments for a PR
GET /api/purchase-requisitions/amendments/pending - Get pending amendments (for approvers)
POST /api/purchase-requisitions/amendments/{amendmentId}/approve - Approve amendment (unlocks PR)
POST /api/purchase-requisitions/amendments/{amendmentId}/reject - Reject amendment

Workflow:

User requests amendment with justification (creates amendment request with status Pending)
Amendment expires after 7 days if not reviewed
Approver can approve or reject the amendment
Upon approval, PR status changes back to Draft (temporarily unlocked)
User can edit and resubmit PR
After resubmission, PR goes through approval workflow again
Full audit trail maintained for all amendment actions

Amendment Statuses:

Pending: Awaiting review
Approved: Amendment approved, PR unlocked for editing
Rejected: Amendment request rejected
Completed: Amendment completed and PR resubmitted
Expired: Amendment request expired without review (7 days)

Security Features:

User context captured (user ID, username, IP address)
Audit logging for all amendment actions
Only one pending or approved amendment allowed per PR
Draft PRs cannot request amendments (already editable)
Expired amendments automatically marked

Database Schema:

purchase_requisition_amendments (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    purchase_requisition_id UUID NOT NULL,
    requested_by_user_id VARCHAR(255),
    requested_by_user_name VARCHAR(255),
    requested_at_utc TIMESTAMP,
    justification VARCHAR(2000),
    status VARCHAR(50), -- Pending/Approved/Rejected/Completed/Expired
    reviewed_by_user_id VARCHAR(255),
    reviewed_by_user_name VARCHAR(255),
    reviewed_at_utc TIMESTAMP,
    review_remarks VARCHAR(2000),
    original_status VARCHAR(50),
    requested_from_ip_address VARCHAR(45),
    reviewed_from_ip_address VARCHAR(45),
    expires_at_utc TIMESTAMP
)

Example Usage:

# Request amendment
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5200/api/purchase-requisitions/{pr-id}/request-amendment" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"justification": "Need to correct quantity from 10 to 15 units"}'

# Get pending amendments (for approvers)
curl "http://localhost:5200/api/purchase-requisitions/amendments/pending"

# Approve amendment
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5200/api/purchase-requisitions/amendments/{amendment-id}/approve" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"reviewRemarks": "Approved. Please make necessary corrections."}'

11.2 Integration with Workflow Engine

When the Centralized Approval Workflow Engine (Section 6.1 of TOR) is implemented:

Replace manual approval with workflow-driven approval
Support multi-level approval chains
Implement delegation and escalation
Add approval history visualization
