Recommended sync order
- Organizational units and approval roles
- Supplier masters and categories
- RFX / auction events
- Purchase orders and fulfillment status
- Contracts and invoice / payment anchors (handoff to Tradeics Finance)
Notes for implementers
- Model approvals as explicit states (
draft,pending,approved,rejected,cancelled) even if you later map richer workflow graphs. - Do not invent payment settlement logic inside PO sync — settle through Tradeics Finance when wallet or Tradeics Pay is in scope.
- Prefer event-driven pulls (polling or future webhooks) keyed by Tradeics identifiers rather than fragile name matching.
