Plan: Cotton PO Initial Orders Module

Repo: ~/ai-projects-local/rbd-reorder-tool


Goal

Add a Cotton POs module to the RBD Ordering Tool that:

  1. Pulls raw sales history from MySQL (netsuite_transaction_items already synced from NetSuite)
  2. Calculates suggested D&R yardage per SKU — replicating the existing Google Sheet formula
  3. Presents a per-collection PO review UI for buyer adjustments
  4. Tracks PO lifecycle status: Created → Done → Sent to Vendor → Imported
  5. Exports formatted xlsx matching the existing Cotton PO template

/goal Command

/goal Add Cotton POs module to RBD Ordering Tool. Done when: (1) "Cotton POs" exists under PURCHASING in the nav; (2) collections list shows cotton collections with all 4 status flags (PO Created, PO Done, Sent to Vendor, Imported); (3) clicking a collection opens a per-SKU PO view with suggested D&R yardage calculated from netsuite_transaction_items sales history; (4) buyer can override individual SKU quantities and totals recalculate; (5) precuts section shows precut SKUs with unit totals; (6) all state persists to DB; (7) Export button produces a formatted xlsx. Validate end-to-end with Dapple Dot as the reference collection — compare D&R quantities against the existing Google Sheet.

Context

Existing tool: FastAPI (Python) + React/TypeScript (Vite + Tailwind)
Repo: ~/ai-projects-local/rbd-reorder-tool / GitHub: c-gorringe/rbd-reorder-tool
Database: MySQL at rb.alpineanalytica.com:3307rb_warehouse
Reference sheet: Google Sheets 16Gx-N9HK35MSLZfz5DAGJ6FhHN6u2VLdruwmiXIL4lE
Current migrations: 001–004 already deployed (005 pending if any)

What the existing sheet does

  1. Data tab — raw NetSuite data (21 columns, A:U) auto-synced via Google Sheets connector from saved search "Initial Order Suggestion - Non Batik {AA}" (search ID 2425) and Dropship search (2941)
  2. Collections tab — user lists collections, assigns PO#s, notes kits/precuts, tracks status flags
  3. PO template tabs (one per collection) — per-SKU rows with D&R yardage + precut/kit/casepack/advanced yardage, rate, surcharges, totals. Sheet formulas calculate suggested D&R qty from raw sales data. Buyer overrides individual SKUs.
  4. Export — Menu > PO Tools > Append active sheet to PO import → clean up → send to vendor

Data available in MySQL (confirmed)

  • netsuite_transactions — sales orders and invoices
  • netsuite_transaction_items — line items with amounts (known data quality issue: use IF(tran_date > '1970-01-01', tran_date, created_date) pattern)
  • NOTE: No item master table confirmed yet — need to verify if item attributes (vendor, cost, class/collection, designer rank, MOQ) are present

Phase 1 Research — COMPLETE (2026-05-12)

Calculation Chain (fully reverse-engineered)

Step 1 — Preorder % (Data col Z "Preorder % of Total"):

base_pct = FORECAST_LINEAR(presale_qty, 
    x=[12,24,36,48,60,72,84,100,200,324],
    y=[30,30,40,45,50,55,60,68,69,70]) / 100
base_pct = max(0.3, min(1.0, base_pct))

# Item-type overrides:
if has_rot or has_laminate or item_type in ("CP15","ASY-FQ"):  pct = 1.0
elif item_type in ("SD","CP10"):                               pct = 0.92
elif group == "1YD":                                           pct = 0.70
else:                                                          pct = base_pct

Step 2 — Suggested QTY (Data col AA):

if item_type == "CP10":
    suggested = min(2, ceil(backorder_qty / preorder_pct / MOQ)) * MOQ
else:
    suggested = ceil(backorder_qty / preorder_pct / MOQ) * MOQ

Step 3 — D/R or Units (Data col AL):

dr_or_units = suggested_qty + au_qty  # AU = additional unit items (presales)

Step 4 — D&R YDS in PO template (col C):

other_yds = precut_yds + kit_yds + casepack_yds + rot_yds + advanced_yds
if dr_or_units + other_yds >= 500:
    dr_yds = dr_or_units
else:
    dr_yds = 500 - other_yds   # bump up to hit 500 minimum

Key Data Columns Mapped

Data col Name MySQL field Status
E Item (SKU) netsuite_transaction_items.item_sku Available
L Sum of Quantity (presale units) netsuite_transaction_items.quantity filtered by SalesOrd + date range Derivable
M Sum of Backorder Quantity netsuite_transaction_items.quantity_backordered Available
Q RBD MOQ item master field MISSING from MySQL
W Item Group/Type (CP10, CP15, 1YD, SD…) item master field MISSING from MySQL
X Base SKU / ROT flag item master field MISSING from MySQL
Y Laminate Base SKU item master field MISSING from MySQL

Critical Gap: Item Master Not in MySQL

quantity_backordered and quantity are available. But MOQ (Q) and item type (W) are not in MySQL — they live in the NetSuite item master, which was never synced.

Resolution chosen: CSV seed file (Option 1)

  • Buyer exports item master from NetSuite once → we import into cotton_item_master table
  • Simple, works day 1, no API setup needed
  • Table can be refreshed periodically by re-importing updated CSV

Remaining Open Questions

# Question How to resolve
1 Where do per-SKU rates come from? "Populate Rates" step suggests not in NetSuite Ask Cole before coding cost calculation
2 CP10-2 half-assortment casepacks — how is the list of SKUs for Lori Holt / Janet Wecker Frisch determined? Ask Cole — currently manual per instructions
3 What filters identify "presale" transactions in MySQL? (type = SalesOrd? specific date window?) Check with Cole or verify via sample query

Backend (~/ai-projects-local/rbd-reorder-tool/backend/)

New files:

  • routers/cotton_pos.py — CRUD for collections, items, status updates, xlsx export
  • services/cotton_calc.py — D&R quantity calculation engine (replicate sheet formula)
  • services/netsuite_query.py — Query MySQL netsuite_transaction_items for sales history by SKU prefix

Frontend (~/ai-projects-local/rbd-reorder-tool/frontend/src/)

New files:

  • pages/CottonPOListPage.tsx — collections table with status chips + "New Collection" button
  • pages/CottonPODetailPage.tsx — per-collection PO: header, SKU table with override inputs, precuts section, export button
  • components/CottonPOItemRow.tsx — single SKU row with inline override

Nav update in Layout.tsx:

  • Add PURCHASING group: Cotton POs | (Batik POs later) | (Liberty POs later)
  • Keep existing ORDERING group: Reorder | Preorder

Export Format

xlsx matching the current Cotton PO template:

  • Header: PO#, ship date, advanced ship date
  • Cotton rows: SKU, Name, D&R yds, Precut yds, Kit yds, Laminate, Casepack, ROT, Advanced, Total, Rate, Amount, Surcharges, Total
  • Totals row
  • Precuts summary section
  • Stacking order section

Implementation Phases

Phase 1 — Research (resolve open questions, ~1 day)

  • Open Google Sheet in browser, inspect D&R formula cells for a known collection (Dapple Dot)
  • Read Data tab headers (columns A:U) to understand what fields come from NetSuite
  • SSH to rb.alpineanalytica.com, run SHOW COLUMNS FROM netsuite_transaction_items and SHOW COLUMNS FROM netsuite_transactions
  • Check if item master / item attributes exist in any MySQL table
  • Clarify rates source and CP10-2 casepack logic with Cole
  • Exit criteria: formula understood, data fields mapped, no unknowns in the calculation engine

Phase 2 — Foundation (~1 day)

  • Write migration 006 (cotton_collections, cotton_po_items, cotton_precut_items, cotton_stacking_orders)
  • Run migration on local dev DB
  • Backend: collections CRUD + basic items endpoint (routers/cotton_pos.py)
  • Frontend: nav update (add PURCHASING group with Cotton POs route) + empty collections list page
  • Verify route renders in browser

Phase 3 — Data Pull & Calculation (~2 days)

  • Build netsuite_query.py: query sales history from MySQL for a given collection's SKU prefix
  • Build cotton_calc.py: implement D&R suggestion formula (from Phase 1 research)
  • Backend: on collection creation, auto-populate items from MySQL + run calculation
  • Frontend: PO detail page showing suggested quantities (read-only first)

Phase 4 — Buyer Review UI (~1-2 days)

  • Frontend: per-SKU override input — clicking D&R qty cell makes it editable; shows "(suggested: X)" below
  • Frontend: totals recalculate live on override change
  • Backend: PATCH endpoint to save per-item overrides
  • Frontend: 4 status flag checkboxes in collection header (Created / Done / Sent / Imported)
  • Backend: PATCH endpoint for status updates

Phase 5 — Precuts, Stacking Orders & Export (~1-2 days)

  • Frontend: precuts summary section (precut SKU + total units)
  • Frontend: stacking order table (position + SKU + which bundles it appears in)
  • Backend: xlsx export endpoint matching template format
  • Frontend: Export button → download xlsx
  • End-to-end validation: create Dapple Dot collection, compare D&R quantities to existing Google Sheet

Risks

Risk Likelihood Mitigation
Sheet formula is more complex than expected (uses data outside MySQL) Medium Phase 1 research will surface this; worst case: add CSV import as fallback
Item master data not in MySQL — missing vendor/cost/designer rank Medium Check in Phase 1; may need a rates/item-master admin table or CSV seed
Rates not in NetSuite at all (manually maintained in sheet) Medium Build a rates admin UI in Phase 4 if needed
CP10-2 casepack SKU list is catalog-lookup only High Keep manual in v1; add later

Acceptance Criteria

  • Cotton POs in nav under PURCHASING
  • Collections list with status badges
  • Per-collection PO view with D&R qty for each SKU (confirmed against Dapple Dot reference)
  • Buyer override saves and persists
  • Status flags work
  • xlsx export produced and structurally matches the template
