They hold a TIN but no business licence, so there is no eTrade record to look
their registration up in. A checkbox on the first wizard step marks them, and
everything that assumed a trade licence bends around it:
- The company step replaces the eTrade lookup with typed registration details
— name, region, zone, woreda, kebele, house number — required exactly because
they are now on screen. applyEtradeSourcedFields skips the lookup rather than
failing it, so what the customer sends is what is stored.
- No freight-forwarder role. Forwarding is licensed work, so the option is not
offered, and the API refuses it at start-onboarding and at every later
role-add rather than letting approval fail on a document they cannot produce.
- No per-role business-licence upload, client-side or in the completion gate.
- Their own document set (company_onboarding_documents_cooperative) merges on
top of the nationality one, admin-managed like every other set. Nationality
wins a fileKey collision so no slot renders twice, and the DARS paper is not
injected into it — the set it merges onto already carries one.
- The owner is typed in full; with no eTrade manager on file the licence
comparison reports "nothing to compare against", which backoffice now
explains rather than leaving as a bare dash.
Stored as an attributes flag, not a column: everything it changes is
behavioural, and nothing queries or joins on it.
Gates the previously open support-agent, procurement, compliance,
facilities, list-users and trade-access controllers, separates customer
from staff routes across bookings, contracts, companies, billing,
warehouses, files and train scheduling, and moves billing, overview,
reports and the settings controllers onto their own keys instead of the
blanket admin key. Drops the demo-permissions module and the untested
notification test route.
- dars delegation paper mandatory wherever poa state changes (named,
removed, forwarder role applied for/approved), not just onboarding
- ethiopian companies verify owner (and poa, once named) via fayda;
identity, not general manager, is the verified subject
- foreign companies require a typed owner passport number instead,
independent of an optional fayda verification
- fanNumber removed from client-writable dtos; server-derived only
