Member inspection (optional)

For MEMBER_INSPECTION (16–31 May window), generate member inspection pack. Optionally Publish to document vault so members can inspect accounts during the statutory window.

• Upload auditor engagement letter as external artifact if required.

Stale pack warning

If a new invoice is issued after generation, the UI shows "Pack stale regenerate". Regenerate with reason; old artifact remains in history.

FAQ

Can I edit numbers in the PDF? No corrections happen in billing/accounting, then regenerate.

Is Form N-1 included? Form N-1 is the auditor's signed audit memorandum upload as external artifact on AUDIT_REPORT_UPLOAD, not generated by Plinth.

Non-Maharashtra societies? Generic financial packs apply until state L1/L2 templates ship; Form N naming is Maharashtra-specific.
