Architecture Decision: Provider Product Mapping
Status
Accepted
Decision
Provider mappings are first-class Product-level records.
During new Product creation, configured pricing providers are searched for candidate matches. The admin confirms the appropriate match, refines a search manually when necessary, or marks a provider Not Applicable.
Mappings are reused by all physical Inventory Items belonging to the Product.
Mapping types
PRODUCT: specific canonical provider/catalog entity.SEARCH: provider search/query definition.
eBay supports both mapping types.
Rationale
A provider relationship describes the identity of the Product, not a particular physical copy. Keeping it at Product level avoids repeating provider discovery for every copy while supporting multiple conditions and future copies.
A search mapping is necessary for providers such as eBay where a canonical product may not exist for every collectible or merchandise item.
