Enterprise Process Chains

SyntheticData models enterprise operations as interconnected process chains — end-to-end business flows that share master data, generate journal entries, and link through common documents. This page maps the current implementation status and shows how the chains integrate.

         │     └→ IC Elimination          ├→ Reclasses  └→ Retained Earnings
         │                                └→ FX Reval
         ▼

Gaps: Benefits administration, workforce planning.

Plan-to-Produce (MFG) — 85%

Implemented: Production orders with BOM explosion, routing operations, WIP costing, quality inspections, cycle counting. OCPM events for production order lifecycle, quality inspection, and cycle count reconciliation.

Gaps: Material requirements planning (MRP), advanced shop floor control.

Audit Lifecycle (AUDIT) — 90%

Implemented: Engagement planning, risk assessment (ISA 315/330), workpaper creation and review (ISA 230), evidence collection (ISA 500), findings (ISA 265), professional judgment documentation (ISA 200). OCPM events for the full engagement lifecycle.

Integration Map

Integration Point	From Chain	To Chain	Mechanism
Inventory bridge	S2P (Goods Receipt)	O2C (Delivery)	GR increases stock, delivery decreases
Payment clearing	S2P / O2C	BANK	Payment status → bank reconciliation
Journal entries	All chains	R2R	Every document posts GL entries
Asset acquisition	S2P (Capital PO)	A2R	PO → GR → Fixed Asset Record
Revenue recognition	O2C (Invoice)	R2R	Contract → Revenue JE
Depreciation	A2R	R2R	Monthly depreciation → Trial Balance
Intercompany	S2P / O2C	R2R	IC invoices → IC matching → elimination

Document Reference Types

Documents maintain referential integrity across chains through 9 reference types:

Reference Type	Description	Example
`FollowOn`	Normal flow succession	PO → GR
`Payment`	Payment for invoice	PAY → VI
`Reversal`	Correction/reversal	Credit Memo → Invoice
`Partial`	Partial fulfillment	Partial GR → PO
`CreditMemo`	Credit against invoice	CM → Invoice
`DebitMemo`	Debit against invoice	DM → Invoice
`Return`	Return against delivery	Return → Delivery
`IntercompanyMatch`	IC matching pair	IC-INV → IC-INV
`Manual`	User-defined reference	Any → Any

Roadmap

The process chain expansion follows a wave-based plan:

Wave	Focus	Chains Affected
Wave 1	S2C completion, bank reconciliation, financial statements	S2P, BANK, R2R
Wave 2	Payroll/time, revenue recognition generator, impairment generator	H2R, O2C, A2R
Wave 3	Production orders/WIP, cycle counting/QA, expense management	MFG, INV, H2R
Wave 4	Sales quotes, cash forecasting, KPIs/budgets, obsolescence	O2C, BANK, R2R, INV
