The pain

There are residual gaps in ORB credits integration that risk duplicating modules and wasting years of investment.

Who'd pay

B2B companies managing multi-currency, multi-tenant credits and balances, especially in fintech and SaaS sectors.

Signal that triggered it

"Residual gaps vs ORB Credits to close — and avoid creating a duplicate `Granit.Credits` module that would invalidate years of investment in `CustomerBalance`."

Original post

[FEATURE] Phase 4 — Granit.CustomerBalance ORB Credits alignment

Published: 7 hours ago

Repository: granit-fx/granit-dotnet Author: jfmeyers ## Description **Constat.** `Granit.CustomerBalance` already exists and covers **~85-90% of ORB Credits needs**: - Aggregate `BalanceAccount` (multi-tenant, multi-currency, append-only ledger via `BalanceTransaction`) - Transaction sources: `Promotional`, `Overpayment`, `ManualAdjustment`, `InvoiceDeduction`, `RefundCredit`, `Expiration` - Domain methods `Credit(...)` and `Debit(...)` with `InsufficientBalanceException` - Events: `BalanceCreditedEto`, `BalanceDebitedEto`, `CreditExpiredEto` - Expiration job `CreditExpirationScanJob` (cron `0 */6 * * *`) + idempotent service - **Invoicing integration already in place** via `IInvoicePrePaymentProcessor` (deducts credit before PSP charge) — idempotency via `(ReferenceId=invoiceId, Source=InvoiceDeduction)` lookup, no need for distributed saga - Endpoints: `GET /balance`, `GET /transactions`, `POST /balance/credit` - Permissions, metrics, ActivitySource — all in place - Documentation page exists **Problem.** Residual gaps vs ORB Credits to close — and avoid creating a duplicate `Granit.Credits` module that would invalidate years of investment in `CustomerBalance`. **Solution.** Extend the existing module with 4 surgical additions, no new package. **Alternatives considered.** - *Create `Granit.Credits` from scratch*: rejected — would duplicate `BalanceAccount`, `BalanceTransaction`, expiration job, Invoicing integration. Wasteful and confusing. - *Add a tiered drawdown strategy in MVP*: deferred to backlog (most B2B SaaS treat all credits equally; complicates the ledger) ## User Stories - #1176 - Add admin debit endpoint for manual customer balance drawdown - #1177 - Add CreditPreExpirationScanJob with CreditNearExpirationEto event - #1178 - [TECH DEBT] Backlog — Credit drawdown ordering strategies (FIFO / EarliestExpiringFirst) - #1179 - Document ORB to Granit.CustomerBalance mapping ADR + customer-balance.mdx update ## Expected deliverables - [ ] `POST /api/granit/customer-balance/balance/debit` admin endpoint (manual drawdown outside invoice flow) - [ ] `CreditPreExpirationScanJob` + `CreditNearExpirationEto` event for early-warning notifications - [ ] ADR `035-customer-balance-orb-credits-mapping.md` documenting ORB ↔ Granit terminology mapping - [ ] Update existing `customer-balance.mdx` doc page with "ORB alignment" section - [ ] Backlog issue (Tech Debt): credit drawdown ordering strategies (FIFO / EarliestExpiringFirst / LargestFirst / Lifo) ## Compliance - **GDPR**: `Reason` field on debit must not contain PII - **ISO 27001**: Admin debit operation gated by `CustomerBalance.Credits.Manage` permission, audited via `BalanceTransaction` ledger - **Backward compatibility**: All additive — no breaking change ## Effort 1-2 weeks (vs 3-4 weeks for from-scratch creation — savings of ~50%). ## Branch `feature/customer-balance-orb-alignment` ## Dependencies None hard. Can start in parallel with Phase 3. ## Parent Part of #1155 — Align Granit framework on ORB billing concepts (Phase 4). Cross-references existing module EPIC #874. Source: GITHUB
