Practical example
A CMMS work order requests a spare part, ERP completes purchasing, and receipt status returns to the maintenance job.
System ownership

Reconciliation
Interfaces should identify failed, duplicated, or delayed transactions.
Common mistake
Sending every maintenance status into ERP without a clear business requirement creates unnecessary integration complexity.
