The operating question
A first order is a system test. Everything the store promises has to exist somewhere in the operating record before the parcel moves.
What to decide, in order
- Product data Title, variant, weight and packaging that the store, the warehouse and the label all agree on.
- Stock state The event that turns produced units into sellable inventory.
- Dispatch record The instruction the packer follows and the proof the account team can quote.
Quick reference
| Decision | What it settles |
|---|---|
| Product data | Title, variant, weight and packaging that the store, the warehouse and the label all agree on. |
| Stock state | The event that turns produced units into sellable inventory. |
| Dispatch record | The instruction the packer follows and the proof the account team can quote. |
Where the handoff usually breaks
First orders usually fail on the small mismatch: a variant name the warehouse does not recognise, or a weight that produces the wrong label.
What good looks like
One order can be traced from store promise to dispatch record without a single message being sent.
