Project: finance variance assistant

"""Stage 1: get finance data into data/, in the JSON shape of SAP's OData V2 APIs.

How to run (from your orchestrate-course folder, with .venv turned on):
    python projects/variance-assistant/sap_data.py --sample     # made-up data, no key, no internet
    python projects/variance-assistant/sap_data.py --sandbox    # SAP Business Accelerator Hub sandbox (SAP_API_KEY in .env)

Files written to data/: line_items.json (one row per posting line), ledger_totals.json (totals per
period, G/L account and cost center), cost_centers.json, drivers.json (shipments, sample only),
config.json and source.json. --sample also writes eval/truth.json for Stage 6.
The script only reads (GET) from SAP. It never changes data.

Data as of 2026-10-09 (sample). User ana, cost centers: 10101501, 10101502, 10101503. Written by: rules.

Freight rose by 38,267 EUR (+18.7%), from 204,144 EUR in August 2026 to 242,411 EUR in September 2026 [F1].

The change splits into these drivers:
- One-off: +12,600 EUR, SkyCargo Express GmbH on cost center 10101502 in September 2026, not seen in the three periods before [B1] [P-5100000276-002].
- Reversal: +7,815 EUR, reversal in August 2026 of a posting from July 2026 [B2] [P-5100000275-002] [P-5100000274-002].
- Rate: +6,531 EUR, cost per shipment on cost center 10101501 Shipping Hamburg; largest recurring increase: Nordfracht Logistik GmbH [B3] [F3] [P-5100000256-002] [P-5100000257-002].
- Possible duplicate: +5,760 EUR, reference 104-202609-1 posted 2 times in September 2026 [B4] [P-5100000260-002] [P-5100000277-002].
- Volume: +5,604 EUR, +68 shipments on cost center 10101501 Shipping Hamburg [B5] [F3].
- Other, not explained: -42 EUR, smaller changes below the materiality floor [B6].

Follow-ups you can approve:
  * publish_commentary: Publish this explanation as the month-end commentary
  * confirm_one_off:5100000276: Ask the cost center owner to confirm document 5100000276 as a one-off
  * check_duplicate:5100000277: Ask accounts payable to check document 5100000277 (same reference as 5100000260)
