TC-DINV-01: Generate Bulk Dues Invoices

Purpose: Verify that an admin can generate dues invoices for all active members.

Step	Action (EXACT clicks/typing)	Expected Result (EXACT text/behavior)	Test Value
1	Open your browser and go to: `https://stg-rcme.membervu.com/login` Enter email: `admin@rcme.membervu.com` Enter password: `Admin123!` Click "Sign In".	Login succeeds. Admin dashboard loads.	Email: `admin@rcme.membervu.com` Password: `Admin123!`
2	Navigate to "Admin" > "Billing" > "Generate Dues Invoices" (or "Admin" > "Dues" > "Generate Invoices" — the exact path may vary).	The dues invoice generation page loads. You should see options for selecting the billing period and membership types.	-
3	Select the billing period: 2026 (or the current year if different).	"2026" is selected as the billing period.	`2026`
4	For membership types, select "All" (or check all membership type checkboxes: Regular Member, Associate Member, Student Member).	All membership types are selected.	All types selected
5	Click "Generate" or "Generate Invoices".	A progress indicator may appear. Once complete, a success message displays, such as: "X invoices generated successfully" (where X is the number of active members). Or a summary showing how many invoices were created for each membership type.	-
6	Navigate to "Admin" > "Invoices" (or "Billing" > "All Invoices") to see the generated invoices.	The invoice list shows the newly generated dues invoices. Verify: - Regular Members have invoices for ₱15,000 - Associate Members have invoices for ₱10,000 - Student Members have invoices for ₱5,000 Each invoice should show the member name, amount, period (2026), and status (PENDING or UNPAID).	-

PASS if: Invoices generated for all active members with correct amounts matching their membership types.

TC-DINV-02: Generate Individual Dues Invoice

Purpose: Verify that an admin can create a single dues invoice for a specific member.

Step	Action (EXACT clicks/typing)	Expected Result (EXACT text/behavior)	Test Value
1	Navigate to "Admin" > "Invoices" or "Billing". Look for a "Create Invoice" or "New Invoice" button. Click it.	An invoice creation form opens.	-
2	In the "Member" field, search for and select "Maria Cruz" (`testmember@rcme.membervu.com`).	Maria Cruz is selected. Her membership type (Regular Member) may auto-populate the amount field.	Member: `Maria Cruz`
3	Set the invoice type to "Dues" (if applicable). Set the period to 2026.	Invoice type and period are set.	Type: Dues Period: 2026
4	Verify the amount is ₱15,000 (matching Regular Member dues). If not auto-populated, enter: `15000`	Amount shows ₱15,000.	`15000`
5	Click "Create" or "Save Invoice".	A success message appears. The invoice is created for Maria Cruz with amount ₱15,000.	-

NOTE: If the system does not support creating individual dues invoices separately from bulk generation, navigate to Admin > Members > Maria Cruz and look for a "Create Dues Invoice" action there. If neither option exists, mark this test as "N/A — individual invoice creation not available" and note the expected behavior.

PASS if: Individual dues invoice created for Maria Cruz with correct amount (₱15,000).

TC-DINV-03: Duplicate Invoice Prevention

Purpose: Verify that the system prevents generating duplicate invoices for the same period.

Step	Action (EXACT clicks/typing)	Expected Result (EXACT text/behavior)	Test Value
1	Navigate to "Admin" > "Billing" > "Generate Dues Invoices".	The generation page loads.	-
2	Select the same period as TC-DINV-01: 2026, with All membership types. Click "Generate".	Either: - A warning message appears: "Invoices already generated for this period" or "Duplicate invoices detected", and no new invoices are created, or - The system generates invoices but skips members who already have invoices for 2026 (showing a message like "X members already invoiced, Y new invoices created"), or - An error prevents the operation. Note the exact behavior.	Period: `2026`

PASS if: The system either prevents duplicate invoices entirely or skips already-invoiced members.

TC-DINV-04: Member View — See Own Dues Invoice

Purpose: Verify that a member can see their dues invoice in their personal invoice list.

2	Navigate to "My Invoices" or "Billing" in the sidebar.	The member's invoice list loads.	-
3	Look for a dues invoice for the 2026 period.	A dues invoice is listed showing: - Type: "Dues" or "Annual Dues" - Amount: ₱15,000 - Period: 2026 - Status: PENDING or UNPAID	-
4	Click on the invoice to view its details.	Invoice detail page opens showing the full breakdown: member name, membership type (Regular Member), amount (₱15,000), due date, and payment options (if available).	-

CLEANUP — Read This Before You Stop

Invoices were created during this test:

Bulk dues invoices for all active members (period 2026) — from TC-DINV-01
Possibly an individual invoice for Maria Cruz — from TC-DINV-02

These invoices remain in the system. They do not negatively impact other tests but may be visible in billing reports. If you need a clean state, reseed the database:
docker exec membervu-backend npm run seed:rcme
