Syncing multi-channel sales to physical stock, LB-1001
Sales & Inventory Allocation
The primary objective is to calculate Sales & Inventory Allocation by joining multi-channel transactional data with real-time inventory snapshots. This IfThenWhy Framework example defines the Retail Sales & Inventory Allocation logic required to automate omnichannel stock distribution and optimize inventory balancing across all store locations.
Under the IfThenWhy Framework, this metric is translated into the following five logic blueprint files.
| File Name | Role | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Semantic_Layer | The "Why" | Strategic KPIs & Definitions |
| LDD | The "Then" | Logical Joins & Relationships |
| ERD | The Structure | Physical Schema & Constraints |
| Data_Dictionary | The Language | Field-level Definitions |
| Lookup_Tables | The Context | Categorical Mapping |
