How the model is organised

Operating context

Organizations, delivery points, team members and Users identify where and by whom work is done.

Customer commitments

Distribution orders hold the service commitment; order lines hold menu scope; dispatch tickets hold reviewed release requests.

Catalogue and kitchen

Products, Ingredients, product recipes and recipe ingredients define the menu and its approved ingredient basis; ingredient movements record signed use and waste.

Movement and evidence

Distribution events retain product movement; operation receipts, review decisions, record attachments and payment evidence retain decisions and results.

Currency reference

Exchange rates hold effective rates for the operating organization context.
