Legacy ran a year-end corte: it summed the closing year, wrote that total back
as each customer's Jan-1 BALANCE FORWARD, and started the next year clean. The
platform inherited those opening rows but never the years behind them — only
the current year's charges were ever staged, so every prior year held receipts
and no bills. Rendering one would have shown a customer credits with nothing
owed against them, which is worse than showing nothing.
The archives are whole-database Access snapshots named for the period they
hold, so `2025.accdb` is discovered by filename, staged, and loaded through the
existing DATOS2 branch — a snapshot's `datos2` is the identical shape, one year
older. Only the ledger and DATGRAL come out of a snapshot; everything else in
it is a year-stale copy of a live table. The cash side is deliberately left
behind: EFECTIVO is a lifetime journal, so the snapshot's copy is a subset of
the live one and importing it would double-book every prior-year receipt.
Period travels with the row, in legacySourceTable as `datos2@2025`. That tag,
not the date, is what a year view should filter on: the archives are not
cleanly bounded (2025 carries ten undated rows and two dated into 2026) and
legacy never filtered by date either — its reader is `SELECT ... FROM \`2025\``.
The tag also keeps legacyId safe, since it is a positional ordinal that
restarts at 0 in every archive and would otherwise collide row-for-row.
Two guards, because attaching a prior year by NUMid is the one thing here that
can go quietly wrong:
- Reissued numbers are skipped, not imported. Comparing each archive's
DATGRAL against the live one, 13 names moved since 2025 and 40 since 2024;
most are the same customer re-described, but a few are a different
household holding a recycled number, and filing their ledger under the new
owner would show a stranger's charges. Sharing any word of three or more
characters separates a rename from a reissue. Names are compared
legacy-to-legacy: `customers.name` has been through blank-name recovery,
and comparing to it reported 121 drifts where there are 13.
- Every period is checked against the corte identity it must satisfy —
SUM(year N) == BALANCE FORWARD(N+1) — and the result is reported per year.
A truncated export, a file dropped under the wrong year, or a botched
customer match all fail loudly here. 2025 reconciles 1,159/1,167 (99.3%)
and 2024 1,144/1,156 (99.0%); the recycle guard raised 2024 from 98.2%.
Balances are untouched: BALANCE_FLOOR_JOIN floors on the newest BALANCE FORWARD
per customer, so rows behind it are already excluded from every balance read.
Uploads go through the existing ingest endpoint, allowlisted by an anchored
`AAAA.accdb` pattern that also keeps a caller-supplied name inside the ingest
directory. The Operaciones page grows an entry point for an archive that has no
row yet, reading the period off the chosen file's own name.
