## Why I Created This Package

While working with the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) API, I encountered numerous obstacles. My experiences led me to a deep understanding of the API's intricacies. This package is the result of my efforts to alleviate the "pain" for others—ensuring that you don't have to face the same challenges. Designed to be user-friendly, this guide will assist you, irrespective of your programming language, through the entire process from setting up the offline enabler to generating your first e-invoice. So grab a cup of chai and let's get started.

### Setting Up the Offline Enabler

1. **Download the Enabler**:
   Navigate to the [URA eFris test site](https://efristest.ura.go.ug/efrissite) and download the offline enabler. Follow the installation instructions provided on the website.

2. **Installation and Configuration**:
   After installation, you will receive an IP address from the enabler, for example, `199.82.32.128`. Append a port, such as `9880`, resulting in `http://199.82.32.128:9880` — this will serve as your base URL. To access the GUI of your enabler, visit `http://199.82.32.128:9880/efristcs`.

   Ensure you follow the detailed installation procedures in the guide to initialize your enabler and configure both a public and private key.

### Consuming the API

Once everything is set up, you're ready to dive into using the API to produce your e-invoices and more. The detailed steps provided in this guide will ensure a smooth experience as you integrate with the URA's systems.

## `__init__(self, ip, device_number, tin, seller_name)`

Initialize the EFRISInvoicing class.

### Args:
- `ip` (str): The IP address of the EFRIS Enabler server.
- `device_number` (str): The device number.
- `tin` (str): The Tax Identification Number.
- `seller_name` (str): The name of the seller.

# Function: `query_tax_payer_by_tin(self, tin)`

This function is part of a class (not shown in the snippet) and is used to query a tax payer by their Tax Identification Number (TIN).

## Parameters:

- `tin` (str): The Tax Identification Number of the tax payer. This is the unique identifier for the tax payer.

## Returns:

- `dict`: A dictionary containing the formatted tax payer output.

## Code Explanation:

The function takes a TIN as input and creates a message dictionary with the TIN and an empty 'ninBrn' field. The 'ic' variable is set to 'T119', which might be a code indicating the type of query being performed.

The function then calls `self.efris_post(ic, message)`, which is likely a method in the same class that sends a POST request to a server (presumably the EFRIS server) with the 'ic' and 'message' as arguments.

The response from this POST request is then passed to the `format_taxpayer_output()` function (not shown in the snippet), which presumably formats the response into a more usable form. The result of this formatting function is what gets returned by `query_tax_payer_by_tin()`.

---

## Function: query_document(self, fdn, type)

This method queries a document by its Fiscal Document Number (FDN) and type.

### Parameters:
- `fdn` (str): The Fiscal Document Number of the document being queried.
- `type` (int): The type of the document (1 for Invoice, 2 for Receipt).

### Returns:
- `dict`: A dictionary containing the formatted output of the invoice query.

### Code Explanation:

The `query_document` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T106'`, which likely denotes the type of query being performed.

Next, it prepares the `message` by calling `query_invoice_json(fdn, str(type))`. This function likely formats the `fdn` and `type` into a JSON message suitable for querying the invoice.

The method then sends a POST request to an external server (possibly the EFRIS server) using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`. This method handles the POST request and retrieves the response.

The response from the POST request is then passed to the `format_invoice_query_output` function (not shown in this snippet), which likely processes the response and formats it into a more usable dictionary.

Finally, the formatted output of the invoice query is returned as a dictionary by the `query_document` method.

---

## Function: query_invoice_details(self, fdn)

This method queries the details of an invoice using its Fiscal Document Number (FDN).

### Parameters:
- `fdn` (str): The Fiscal Document Number (FDN) of the invoice.

### Returns:
- `dict`: A dictionary containing the cleaned invoice data.

### Code Explanation:

The `query_invoice_details` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T108'`, which likely indicates the type of query being performed for invoice details.

Next, it prepares the `message` by calling `invoice_details_json(fdn)`. This function likely formats the `fdn` into a JSON message suitable for querying the invoice details.

The method then sends a POST request to an external server (possibly the EFRIS server) using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`. This method handles the POST request and retrieves the response.

The response from the POST request is then passed to the `clean_invoice_data_json` function (not shown in this snippet), which likely processes the response and cleans the invoice data, preparing it for use.

Finally, the cleaned invoice data is returned as a dictionary by the `query_invoice_details` method.

---

## Function: system_dictionary(self)

This method queries the system dictionary from the EFRIS server.

### Returns:
- `dict`: The response from the EFRIS server, representing the system dictionary.

### Code Explanation:

The `system_dictionary` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T115'`, which likely indicates the type of query being performed to retrieve the system dictionary.

It prepares an empty `message` list, as the system dictionary query may not require additional parameters.

The method then sends a POST request to an external server (presumably the EFRIS server) using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`. This method handles the POST request and retrieves the response.

The response from the POST request, which is expected to contain the system dictionary information, is returned directly as a dictionary by the `system_dictionary` method.


---

## Function: credit_notes_query(self)

This method queries credit notes from the EFRIS server.

### Returns:
- `dict`: The processed credit note output.

### Code Explanation:

The `credit_notes_query` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T111'`, which likely indicates the type of query being performed to retrieve credit notes.

It prepares the `message` by calling `credit_note_json()`. This function likely prepares a JSON message suitable for querying credit notes.

The method then sends a POST request to an external server (presumably the EFRIS server) using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`. This method handles the POST request and retrieves the response.

The response from the POST request is then passed to the `process_creditnote_output` function (not shown in this snippet), which likely processes the response and formats the credit note data for further use.

Finally, the processed credit note output is returned as a dictionary by the `credit_notes_query` method.

---

## Function: credit_note_details(self, id)

This method queries the details of a specific credit note from the EFRIS server.

### Parameters:
- `id` (str): The ID of the credit note to query.

### Returns:
- `dict`: The response from the EFRIS server containing the details of the credit note.

### Code Explanation:

The `credit_note_details` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T112'`, which likely indicates the type of query being performed to retrieve credit note details.

It prepares the `message` as a dictionary containing the `id` parameter provided as an argument to the method.

The method then sends a POST request to an external server (presumably the EFRIS server) using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`. This method handles the POST request and includes the `ic` and `message` as arguments.

The response from the POST request, which contains the details of the queried credit note, is returned as a dictionary by the `credit_note_details` method.

---

## Function: approve_credit_note(self, reference_no, status, id, remarks)

This method is used to approve or reject a credit note by sending a request to the EFRIS server.

### Parameters:
- `reference_no` (str): The reference number of the credit note.
- `status` (int): The status of the credit note, where:
  - `101`: Indicates approval ("Approved")
  - `103`: Indicates rejection ("Rejected")
- `id` (str): The ID of the credit note.
- `remarks` (str): Remarks or comments for the credit note.

### Returns:
- `dict`: The response from the EFRIS server confirming the action.

### Raises:
- `ValueError`: If the `status` parameter is invalid and does not match the allowed values.

### Code Explanation:

The `approve_credit_note` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T113'`, which likely indicates the type of action being performed to approve or reject a credit note.

Input validation is performed for the `status` parameter using a dictionary `valid_status` that maps valid status codes (`101` for approval and `103` for rejection) to their corresponding descriptions ("Approved" and "Rejected").

If the provided `status` value does not match any of the valid codes in `valid_status`, a `ValueError` is raised with a descriptive error message indicating the valid options.

The `message` is prepared by calling the `approve_credit_note` function with the provided parameters (`reference_no`, `status`, `id`, `remarks`). This function likely constructs a JSON message representing the request to approve or reject the credit note.

Finally, a POST request is sent to the EFRIS server using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`, where `ic` is the action code and `message` is the request data. The response from the server, confirming the approval or rejection action, is returned as a dictionary by the `approve_credit_note` method.

The `message` is prepared by calling the `cancel_credit_note` function with the provided parameters (`inv_fdn`, `cn_fdn`, `reason`). This function likely constructs a JSON message representing the request to cancel the credit note, including the necessary document numbers (`inv_fdn`, `cn_fdn`) and cancellation reason.

Finally, a POST request is sent to the EFRIS server using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`, where `ic` is the action code and `message` is the request data. The response from the server, confirming the cancellation of the credit note, is returned as a dictionary by the `cancel_credit_note` method.

---

## Function: z_report(self)

This method is used to generate a Z report by sending a request to the EFRIS server.

### Returns:
- `dict`: The response from the EFRIS server containing the Z report data.

### Code Explanation:

The `z_report` method initializes the `ic` variable with the value `'T116'`, which likely represents the action code for generating a Z report.

The `message` variable is initialized as an empty dictionary (`{}`), indicating that no specific parameters or data are required to generate the Z report.

A POST request is then sent to the EFRIS server using `self.efris_post(ic, message)`, where `ic` is the action code and `message` is the request data (in this case, empty). The response from the server containing the Z report data is returned as a dictionary by the `z_report` method.

## Function: upload_products(self, invoice_data)

This method is used to create EFRIS invoices using the provided invoice data.

### Args
- `invoice_data (list)`: A list of dictionaries representing invoices. Each dictionary should contain the following keys:
  - `"havePieceUnit"`: Indicator for piece unit availability.
  - `"goodsName"`: Name of the goods.
  - `"goodsCode"`: Code assigned to the goods should be unique.
  - `"measureUnit"`: Measurement unit for the goods as per URA documentation.
  - `"unitPrice"`: Price per unit of the goods.
  - `"currency"`: Currency code for the price as per URA.
  - `"commodityCategoryId"`: Category ID for the goods as per URA goods ID.
  - `"haveExciseTax"`: Indicator for excise tax availability.
  - `"description"`: Description of the goods.
  - `"stockPrewarning"`: Stock prewarning threshold.



### Returns
- `list` or `False`: A list of return messages from the EFRIS service if successful, or `False` if any invalid invoices are encountered.

### Code Explanation

The `upload_products` method validates each invoice in the provided `invoice_data` list to ensure all required keys are present. If any invalid invoices are found, they are logged, and the function returns `False`.

The method then makes a POST request to the EFRIS server using the action code `'T130'` (assigned to the variable `ic`) and the `invoice_data` list as the message.

If the response from the server (`return_msg`) is empty (`[]`), the method returns an empty list.

If the response contains data, the `content` is decoded using base64 and parsed as JSON (`decoded_data`). If `decoded_data` is empty, an empty list is returned.

Otherwise, the method extracts the `returnMessage` from each dictionary in `decoded_data` to compile a list of return messages (`return_messages`), which is returned as the final result.

### Example
```
[
    {
        "havePieceUnit": "102",
        "goodsName": "Service ABC",
        "goodsCode": "ABC123",
        "measureUnit": "115",
        "unitPrice": "10.00",
        "currency": "101",
        "commodityCategoryId": "84111601",
        "haveExciseTax": "102",
        "description": "This is Service A",
        "stockPrewarning": "0"
    },
      {
        "havePieceUnit": "102",
        "goodsName": "Product",
        "goodsCode": "ABC123",
        "measureUnit": "115",
        "unitPrice": "10.00",
        "currency": "101",
        "commodityCategoryId": "84111601",
        "haveExciseTax": "102",
        "description": "This is Product A",
