Domain 08: Quality Assessment

Domain Owner: Backend (ASP.NET Core) / Mobile (Flutter offline-first) Last Updated: 2026-03-10 Workflows: WF-QA-01 through WF-QA-04

Domain Introduction

The Quality Assessment domain governs how agricultural produce is inspected, graded, and accepted (or rejected) at collection points. It is the bridge between field-level crop batch creation and warehouse stock recording: a crop batch enters the system via StartAssessmentAsync, is evaluated against a dynamic question checklist, and -- upon completion -- triggers a StockIn movement that feeds into the Stock Management domain (see WF-STOCK-01).

Key architectural principles:

• Dynamic checklists per crop category: Assessment questions are configured per CropCategory (Cereals, Tubers, Fruits/Vegetables, Coffee/Cacao, Legumes) with category-specific QC fields. Questions support four types: Numeric, Boolean, SelectOptions, and Date.
• Offline-first with draft auto-save: The mobile client stores assessment drafts locally with a 2-second debounce. If the device is offline when the agent completes the form, the assessment is queued in a local pending table and synced when connectivity returns.
• LOCAL_ batch ID pattern: Batches created offline carry a LOCAL_ prefixed ID. The sync strategy resolves these to server-generated IDs before submitting answers.
• StockIn on acceptance: When AcceptedQuantity > 0, CompleteAssessmentAsync calls IStockMovementRecorder.RecordMovementAsync to create a StockIn movement at the collection point -- directly linking quality assessments to inventory.
• Delta sync for questions: The mobile client tracks a modifiedSince timestamp and fetches only updated questions, minimising bandwidth for field agents.
• Photo pipeline: Photos are uploaded to DigitalOcean Spaces via /api/upload/image, then attached to the assessment via POST /api/quality-assessments/{id}/photos.

Node Descriptions

#	n8n Node Type	Component	Function	Error Handling
1	Manual Trigger	Admin Panel UI	Admin initiates question CRUD action	Validation errors shown inline
2	HTTP Request	QualityAssessmentQuestionsController	Routes CRUD to service; requires AdminPolicy	Returns 403 if user lacks admin role
3	Function	QualityAssessmentQuestionService.CreateQuestionAsync()	Validates constraints, creates question + options + translations	Returns Result.Failure with descriptive message
4	Function	QualityAssessmentQuestionService.UpdateQuestionAsync()	Replaces options (delete old, insert new), updates translations	404 if question not found or soft-deleted
5	Function	QualityAssessmentQuestionService.DeleteQuestionAsync()	Soft-delete via ISoftDelete.IsDeleted = true	404 if question not found
6	Function	ValidateQuestionConstraints()	Ensures SelectOptions has options, Numeric has valid min/max range	Collects all errors into a list, returns joined message
7	Database	AlmafricaDbContext.SaveChangesAsync()	Persists question, options, and translation records	DbUpdateException on constraint violation

Data Transformations

• Input (Create): CreateQuestionRequest { CropCategoryId, QuestionText, QuestionType, IsRequired, DisplayOrder, MinValue?, MaxValue?, UnitId?, Options[], Translations[] }
• Processing: Validate constraints (type-specific rules), create QualityAssessmentQuestion entity with child QualityAssessmentQuestionOption entities and QualityAssessmentQuestionTranslation / QualityAssessmentQuestionOptionTranslation records
• Output: QualityAssessmentQuestionDto with ID, all fields, nested options and translations
• Export: GET /api/admin/quality-assessment-questions/export produces an Excel file via IExcelExportService

Error Handling

• Missing translations: Both en and fr translations are required; validation rejects requests missing either language
• Invalid type/option combo: SelectOptions type must have at least one option; Numeric type must have MinValue < MaxValue when both are specified
• Soft-delete protection: Deleted questions (ISoftDelete) are excluded from all query results; hard deletes are never performed
• Concurrent modification: EF Core optimistic concurrency via UpdatedAt timestamps

Cross-References

• Consumed by: WF-QA-02 (questions displayed in the assessment form)
• Synced to mobile via: WF-QA-03 (delta sync picks up new/updated questions)

Data Transformations

• Start Input: StartAssessmentRequest { FarmerId, CropId, CollectionPointId, InitialQuantity, QuantityUnitId, Notes? }
• Start Output: BatchCreatedResponse { BatchId, BatchNumber, Message }
• Complete Input: CompleteAssessmentRequest { CropBatchId, AcceptedQuantity, RejectedQuantity, RejectionReason?, Notes?, ExpiryDate?, CorrectiveActions?, Answers[] }
• Each Answer: { QuestionId, QuestionType, NumericValue?, BooleanValue?, SelectedOptionId?, DateValue?, TextValue? }
• Complete Output: QualityAssessmentDto with OverallResult enum: Accepted, PartiallyAccepted, FullyRejected

Error Handling

• Farmer not approved: Backend returns 400 with message "Farmer is not approved for quality assessments"
• Quantity mismatch: AcceptedQuantity + RejectedQuantity must equal InitialQuantity within 0.01 tolerance; returns descriptive error
• Already completed: If AssessmentStatus is Completed or FullyRejected, returns "Assessment has already been completed"
• No active checklist: If no ChecklistVersion exists for the crop category, returns 400
• Offline completion: Saved to pending_assessments table with PendingAssessmentStatus.pending; picked up by WF-QA-03
• Draft persistence failure: Logged but non-fatal; agent can still complete the form

Cross-References

• Uses questions from: WF-QA-01 (question configuration)
• Triggers stock recording: WF-STOCK-01 (StockIn movement via IStockMovementRecorder)
• Offline sync via: WF-QA-03 (pending assessment sync)
• Production cycle link: Assessment can link to a production cycle via productionCycleId on StartAssessmentScreen

10	HTTP Request	AssessmentRemoteDataSource.getAllQuestions()	GET /api/quality-assessments/questions?modifiedSince=...	Network errors skip sync silently

Data Transformations

• Pending assessment (local): SQLite row with batchId, farmerId, cropCategoryId, answers JSON, photo file paths, retryCount, status
• LOCAL_ batch resolution: LOCAL_{uuid} batch ID replaced with server-generated Guid after startAssessment call
• Photo upload pipeline: Local XFile path -> multipart upload to /api/upload/image -> returned URL string -> attached via /api/quality-assessments/{id}/photos
• Question delta sync: modifiedSince ISO timestamp -> server returns only changed QualityAssessmentQuestionDto[] -> merged into local SQLite via saveQuestions()
• Sync result: AssessmentSyncResult { success: bool, totalAttempted: int, successCount: int, failureCount: int }

Error Handling

• LOCAL_ batch creation failure: Assessment marked as failed with incremented retryCount; retried on next sync cycle
• Photo upload failure: Logged and continued; the assessment can still be completed without photos
• Complete API failure (retryable): retryCount < 3 -> mark for retry; retryCount >= 3 -> mark as permanentlyFailed
• Idempotency: OfflineCommandMetadata headers ensure duplicate submissions are safely handled by the backend
• Question sync failure: Caught silently; mobile continues using cached questions until next successful sync
• Token expiry during sync: AssessmentPhotoService Dio interceptor handles 401 with automatic token refresh

Cross-References

• Syncs assessments created in: WF-QA-02 (field assessment execution)
• Triggers on backend: WF-STOCK-01 (StockIn movement recorded during CompleteAssessmentAsync)
• Called after: Main data sync cycle (syncAfterMainSync() extension method)
• Question sync uses: SyncConfig.isAssessmentQuestionsFresh() and SyncMetadataService for cache management

Data Transformations

• Input (Pending): collectionPointId (Guid) + optional search string + page/pageSize
• Output (Pending): PagedResult<CropBatchDto> with batch details, farmer name, crop, quantities, assessment status
• Input (Assessed): QualityAssessmentFilterDto { FarmerId?, CropId?, StartDate?, EndDate?, OverallResult?, SearchTerm?, CollectionPointId?, Page, PageSize }
• Output (Assessed): PagedResult<CropBatchDto> with full assessment details including result, accepted/rejected quantities
• Edit Input: EditAssessmentRequest with updated answers, quantities, notes
• Edit Output: Updated QualityAssessmentDto

Error Handling

• Network failure on load: Falls back to locally cached assessments from completed_assessments table; shows stale-data indicator
• Edit validation failure: Backend returns 400 with specific error (quantity mismatch, already-completed, etc.); displayed in UI snackbar
• Permission denied: Edit button hidden if canEditAssessments is false; backend returns 403 if permission header is forged
• Empty collection point: Shows empty state message; no error thrown

Cross-References

• Assessment execution: WF-QA-02 (navigates to StartAssessmentScreen for pending batches)
• Stock impact: WF-STOCK-01 (completed assessments with AcceptedQuantity > 0 already triggered StockIn via WF-QA-02/WF-QA-03)
• Warehouse context: This workflow is accessed from the warehouse dashboard (accessible to warehouseManager and warehouseOperator roles)
• Edit flow re-triggers: EditAssessmentAsync can update quantities and answers but does NOT re-trigger stock movements (stock adjustment is a separate flow)
