Map Where the Code Lives First
Before writing any integration code, find out where the establishment code sits in your master data and which events touch it: supplier creation, purchase order, booking confirmation.
Three Workflow Patterns
Nightly batch re-validates the full catalogue after hours and produces a morning-ready report. Event-driven checks fire the moment a new supplier or PO is created and return a result in seconds. A pre-shipment gate blocks a booking at the TMS level while any code on the consignment is flagged red. This iTraces REST API supports all three without changing the underlying validation logic.
Combining Patterns
Most production workflows use more than one. Nightly batch catches drift across the whole catalogue; event-driven checks stop bad data at the point of entry; a pre-shipment gate is the last line of defence before goods move.
Where the Result Should Land
Route every validation result to the same place: a compliance dashboard and audit trail, regardless of which pattern triggered the check.
Designing for Failure
Decide upfront what happens when the API is unreachable. A gate that fails closed blocks shipments; one that fails open ships unchecked goods.
Watch a demo to see nightly batch and event-driven checks running side by side.
