Source of Truth Model Guide (Stock → Listings)
A practical model for defining ownership across stock and listings so channels stay aligned under load.
What you’ll get
- A clear ownership matrix for stock, listings, and channel events.
- A conflict-resolution flow for mismatched quantities.
- An implementation checklist to enforce model consistency.
Guide
Principle
Assign one authoritative owner for each critical field. Without explicit ownership, inventory drift becomes a certainty as channels scale.
Ownership model
| Domain | Authoritative owner | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock on hand | ChannelWeave stock records | Updated by receipts, adjustments, and fulfilment events |
| Available to sell | ChannelWeave availability engine | Includes buffers and reservations |
| Listing quantity representation | Channel payload layer | Derived from ChannelWeave availability |
| Transaction events | Channel integrations | Imported as facts, never used to rewrite core stock history |
Conflict resolution flow
- Detect mismatch through queue alerts or reconciliation checks.
- Confirm last authoritative stock mutation in ChannelWeave.
- Recompute listing outputs and republish where needed.
- Log root cause and update safeguards (buffer, monitoring, process).
Implementation checklist
- Define field ownership in your operating handbook.
- Block manual listing edits that bypass source-of-truth rules.
- Schedule recurring reconciliation checks by channel.
- Escalate repeated drift incidents to process redesign.
FAQ
ChannelWeave should own available quantity calculations, then publish consistent outputs to channels.
No. Channels can report transaction events, but source stock records should remain authoritative in one system.
