Rules the system enforces

  • The payment ID must belong to an accessible invoice/customer.
  • Verify linked CRM invoice/payment records before changing a real-estate payment or payout status.
  • The module hooks after_payment_added to write property-related activity when the payment is linked.

How to confirm it worked

  • The supported open a payment and generate its pdf flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
