Multi-supplier ecommerce
Present one product while suppliers continue to disagree upstream.
Separate supplier relationships and source values from the canonical product so downstream commerce can use one governed record without erasing upstream evidence.

Downstream publishing
Publish from governed catalog state, not directly from whatever file arrived last.
Exports and configured destinations consume a snapshot of the canonical catalog, keeping source normalization and downstream delivery concerns separate.
- Generate private export artifacts.
- Keep publish snapshots immutable.
- Apply supported destination configuration and field ownership rules.
- Retry supported asynchronous publishing operations safely.
