The ingest only ever wrote. A bill that reached pos_orders was safe and
completely unreachable — no screen in the product could show it, and the
only way to see a day's counter takings was to query the database by
hand.
Three endpoints: a paged bill list, one bill with its lines, and a
summary split the three ways somebody actually asks for — by tender for
reconciling a drawer, by day for a chart, by till for an outlet running
several counters.
locationid is required on all of them and is the authorisation boundary,
so a caller cannot page through another shop's takings by omitting a
parameter. Fetching a bill under the wrong outlet returns 404 even when
the reference is a real one.
Dates match businessdate rather than arrival, because a till that was
offline overnight uploads yesterday's bills this morning and they belong
to yesterday. The list is ordered by billedat for the same reason —
sorting by arrival would interleave a recovered backlog through today.
Unlike the ingest handlers these answer in the usual envelope: they are
read by the web app, not by a terminal, and nothing about them is bound
to the till's contract.
