From supplier source to maintained catalog.
Each delivery passes through an explicit workflow so source changes, uncertain values and destructive updates are visible before they become canonical catalog state.
Source
Add the supplier and source. Use manual file upload or a configured inbound adapter where appropriate.
Profile
Inspect file structure, headers and schema characteristics before mapping the source.
Map
Map source fields to canonical targets and define deterministic transformations.
Normalize
Apply mappings, dictionary resolution, identity rules and normalization logic to source rows.
Compare
Evaluate proposed changes against current catalog state, source priority and existing overrides.
Review
Route uncertain values, conflicts and identity questions to human review.
Commit
Commit approved changes with locking, auditability and rollback safeguards.
Repeat
Reuse mapping versions, aliases and prior decisions when the supplier sends the next delivery.
The objective is fewer repeated exceptions.
The system accumulates operational knowledge instead of treating every supplier file as an unrelated cleanup job.
