class MiniERPTransactionManager {
/**

*/
public function saveMiniERPRecord(array $payload): Invoice {
return DB::transaction(function () use ($payload) {
// 1. Ingest and normalize inbound lead
$lead = Lead::firstOrCreate(
['email' => $payload['email']],
['source' => $payload['source'] ?? 'api_gateway', 'status' => 'QUALIFIED']
);
// 2. Compute bill-of-materials and ledger items
$contract = $lead->contracts()->create([
'total_amount' => $payload['amount'],
'terms_accepted_at' => now(),
'signature_hash' => hash('sha256', $payload['signature_token']),
]);
// 3. Generate balanced accounting invoice record
$invoice = Invoice::create([
'contract_id' => $contract->id,
'xero_sync_status' => 'PENDING',
'balance_due' => $payload['amount'],
]);
