Bulk Approval Processor
Component Detail
Description
Service layer component that accepts a batch of claim IDs and processes coordinator bulk approvals with per-record error isolation. Reports success and failure counts back to the UI without aborting the batch on individual failures. Delegates each individual transition to ApprovalWorkflowService.

Summaries
The Bulk Approval Processor solves a real operational bottleneck: coordinators managing high volumes of pending claims can approve entire batches in a single action rather than processing each claim individually. This directly reduces the time coordinators spend on administrative processing, lowers the risk of approval backlogs building up, and accelerates reimbursement timelines for peer mentors. The per-record error isolation ensures that a single problematic claim does not prevent all other valid claims in the batch from being approved, making the process resilient and reliable. The detailed success and failure reporting gives coordinators clear visibility into what happened, reducing follow-up queries.
This medium-complexity component depends on both approval-workflow-service and claim-events-repository, meaning it can only be integrated and tested after those are complete. The core delivery risk is in error isolation: the per-record failure handling must be robust enough that no single exception propagates to abort the entire batch, which requires careful exception boundary design and thorough failure-mode testing. Test scenarios must include mixed batches (some valid, some invalid claims), full failure scenarios, and full success scenarios. The getBatchResult() and cancelBatch() interfaces suggest async batch tracking may be required, which could extend the implementation scope depending on whether long-running batch operations need persistence between requests.
processBatch(claimIds, coordinatorId) iterates the provided claim ID list and invokes approval-workflow-service for each individual transition, wrapping each call in an isolated try/catch to prevent cascade failures. Results are aggregated into a BulkApprovalResult struct containing success count, failure count, and per-failure error details. The claim-events-repository dependency suggests batch events may also be recorded for audit purposes. getBatchResult(batchId) implies the processor may support async operation with a polling interface, which requires a batch tracking mechanism — clarify whether this is in-memory (request-scoped) or persisted.
cancelBatch(batchId) similarly suggests mid-flight cancellation capability. Runs on mobile and backend contexts. The delegation to approval-workflow-service ensures FSM validation is not bypassed during bulk operations.
Responsibilities
- Iterate over selected claim IDs and invoke individual approval transitions
- Isolate per-record failures so the entire batch is not aborted
- Aggregate results into a BulkApprovalResult with success and failure counts
- Return error details for any failed individual transitions
