Field guide
Every supplier data field needs an owner.
Prices, availability, units, contracts and cost centers do not belong to the same system. Clear ownership is the foundation of catalog quality.
A practical method for procurement and IT teams
A catalog is a shared responsibility.
The supplier may own product characteristics and availability. Procurement may own negotiated prices and assortment rules. The ERP may own entities and accounting references.
Documenting this split prevents every team from patching the symptom in its own system.
