+## Function Documentation

+Each Lambda and internal package has a `README.md` alongside the source describing its purpose, flow, integration points, and peculiarities. These are bundled into the docs site via `docs/generate-includes.sh`.
+
+When making changes to a Lambda or internal package, check whether the corresponding README needs updating. Function documentation is not auto-generated and can become stale if not maintained alongside code changes.

+# Supplier Configuration
+
+## Purpose
+
+Static JSON configuration files that define the supplier allocation rules for the Supplier API. These are loaded into DynamoDB by infrastructure tooling and are queried at runtime by the `supplier-allocator` Lambda. Check relevant repositories (nhs-notify-internal, nhs-notify-supplier-config) as they orchestrate supplier config data ingress depending on target account, environment, etc.
+
+## Configuration Entities
+
+| Entity                  | Directory              | Description                                                                                                                                                    |
+| ----------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Supplier**            | `supplier/`            | Print supplier definitions with ID, name, channel type, daily capacity, and status (PROD/DRAFT)                                                                |
+| **Letter Variant**      | `letter-variant/`      | Letter type definitions with physical constraints (sheets, sides, ink coverage, delivery days), associated pack specification IDs, and volume group assignment |
+| **Volume Group**        | `volume-group/`        | Groupings of letter variants for allocation purposes, with status and date range validity                                                                      |
+| **Supplier Allocation** | `supplier-allocation/` | Maps a supplier to a volume group with a target `allocationPercentage` and status                                                                              |
+| **Pack Specification**  | `pack-specification/`  | Detailed print assembly specs (paper, envelope, print colour, duplex) with constraints and billing ID                                                          |
+| **Supplier Pack**       | `supplier-pack/`       | Links a supplier to a pack specification with approval status                                                                                                  |
+
+## Allocation Lookup Chain
+
+When the `supplier-allocator` Lambda processes a `LetterRequestPreparedEvent`:
+
+1. The event's `letterVariantId` identifies the **Letter Variant**.
+2. The variant's `volumeGroupId` identifies the **Volume Group** (must be `PROD` status and within date range).
+3. **Supplier Allocations** for that volume group determine which suppliers are eligible and their target allocation percentages (must sum to 100).
+4. The variant's `packSpecificationIds` are filtered by the letter's physical constraints.
+5. **Supplier Packs** confirm which eligible suppliers support the selected pack specification.
+6. The supplier with the lowest weighted allocation factor (furthest below their target share) is selected.
+
+## Nuances and Peculiarities
+
+- These files are the source of truth for the supplier config DynamoDB table (`SUPPLIER_CONFIG_TABLE_NAME`). Changes here flow into DynamoDB via infrastructure deployment.
+- Runtime persistence is event-driven: supplier-config events are routed through SQS to the `supplier-config-ingress` Lambda, which upserts records into the config table.
+- `status: "PROD"` is required at multiple levels (supplier, volume group, allocation) for an allocation to be active.
+- Volume groups have `startDate` (and optional `endDate`) fields. Allocations are only valid when the current date falls within this range (evaluated in London timezone).
+- Supplier `dailyCapacity` is tracked separately in `SUPPLIER_QUOTAS_TABLE` and resets at midnight London time. It is not stored in these config files.
