CREATE INDEX idx_financial_audit_logs_entity ON financial_audit_logs(entity_type, entity_id);

-- JSONB indexes for flexible queries
CREATE INDEX idx_commission_rules_services ON commission_rules USING GIN(applicable_services);
CREATE INDEX idx_calculation_details ON commission_calculations USING GIN(calculation_details);

Data Retention:

• Financial records: 7 years minimum

Migration Approach:

1. Phase 1: Create new schema alongside existing billing system
2. Phase 2: Migrate historical data with validation
3. Phase 3: Gradually transition active processes
4. Phase 4: Deprecate legacy manual processes

Data Migration ScriptsCopy Anchor Link

# Example migration for existing billing accounts
class MigrateExistingBillingAccounts < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def up
    # Create commission rules from existing billing accounts
    BillingAccount.where.not(consultation_percentage: nil).find_each do |account|
      user = account.user
      next unless user
      
      CommissionRule.create!(
        user: user,
        rule_type: 'percentage',
        name: "Migrated from Billing Account",
        base_percentage: account.consultation_percentage,
        applicable_services: ['consultation'],
        effective_from: account.created_at,
        status: 'active'
      )
    end
  end
  
  def down
    CommissionRule.where(name: "Migrated from Billing Account").destroy_all
  end
end

11.2 System IntegrationCopy Anchor Link

Integration with Existing SystemsCopy Anchor Link

Billing System Integration:

• Extend existing BillingPayment model with revenue sharing fields
• Add event triggers to existing payment processing workflows
• Maintain backward compatibility with current APIs
• Gradual migration of payment processing logic

API Integration Strategy:

# Extend existing billing webhooks
class Webhooks::PaymentChange
  def call
    # Existing payment processing logic
    process_payment_webhook
    
    # New revenue sharing processing
    if feature_flag_enabled?(:revenue_sharing)
      trigger_revenue_calculation if payment_completed?
      trigger_commission_calculation if service_delivered?
    end
  end
end

11.3 Feature Flag StrategyCopy Anchor Link

Gradual Rollout PlanCopy Anchor Link

Phase 1 (Internal Testing):

• 24/7 monitoring and support
• Fallback mechanisms to legacy processes if needed

# Feature flag implementation
class FeatureFlag
  def self.enabled?(flag_name, user: nil, clinic: nil)
    case flag_name
    when :revenue_sharing
      return true if Rails.env.development?
      return user&.has_beta_access? if user
      return clinic&.premium_subscription? if clinic
    when :commission_tracking
      return user&.role&.in?(['owner', 'admin'])
