## 💰 Cost Calculation System

### Base Calculation Formula

The system uses a multi-layered calculation approach:

```
Total Cost = (Base Price + Complexity Cost + Texture Cost) × (1 + Tax Rate)
```

Where:
- **Base Price** = DEFAULT_NET_BASE × Mold Type Factor
- **Complexity Cost** = Base Price × (Slider Factor + Cavity Factor + High Sidewall Factor)
- **Texture Cost** = Base Price × Texture Factor

### Default Values
- **DEFAULT_NET_BASE**: $12.50 (base unit cost)
- **Tax Rates**: Varies by country (see below)

## ⚙️ System Configuration

### Cost Factor Management

#### Updating Cost Factors
Cost factors are defined in `app/constants.py`:

```python
COST_FACTORS = {
    'mold': {
        'Flat': 1.0,
        'Flat with Top/Heel Tip': 1.25,
        # ... other factors
    },
    'complexity': {
        'high_sidewall': 0.18,
        'slider': 0.1,
        'cavity': 0.12
    },
    'texture': {
        'adidas_digital': 0.0,
        'customized texture': 0.15,
        'laser': 0.2
    }
}
```

#### Updating Tax Rates
Tax rates are also in `app/constants.py`:

```python
TAX_RATES = {
    'China': 0.06,
    'Vietnam': 0.10,
    'Indonesia': 0.07
}
```

#### Updating Default Base Price
Change `DEFAULT_NET_BASE` in `app/constants.py`:

```python
DEFAULT_NET_BASE = 12.5  # Change this value
```

### Database Management

#### Creating Admin Users
Use the CLI command to create admin users:

```bash
# Set environment variables
export ADMIN_USERNAME="admin"
export ADMIN_EMAIL="admin@company.com"
export ADMIN_PASSWORD="secure_password"
export ADMIN_COMPANY="Company Name"

# Run the command
flask init-db
```

#### Database Migrations
The system uses Alembic for database migrations:

```bash
# Create a new migration
flask db migrate -m "Description of changes"

# Apply migrations
flask db upgrade
```

### Environment Configuration
