Where the concept is used.

Source identification, export capture, field mapping, transformation logging, evidence creation, report attribution, and owner review.

Relevant records and fields

What evidence can support it.

Source system, object, field, export timestamp, transformation, diagnostic rule, finding, confidence, reviewer, and audit event.

Common ambiguity

What the term does not prove.

Lineage does not prove the underlying data is correct; it explains origin and movement.

Concept-specific example

A concept-specific operating scenario.

A report value traces from an inventory export through field mapping, duplicate-family grouping, confidence scoring, and a finance-review output.

Buyer or operator consequenceThis term helps teams decide whether the supporting source records are strong enough for diagnostic review before a signal becomes an owner-reviewed finding.

GovernanceMind AI owns lineage because it governs traceability between source records, findings, and review decisions.

Scope boundary

Product boundary: The term does not claim certified audit compliance or perfect source-data quality.

The glossary defines terminology. It does not convert a term into a benchmark result, customer finding, or operational instruction.

Related action

Use the term only after checking the evidence route and product boundary.

Glossary pages are reference entries. They support diagnostic evaluation, but the operating decision still depends on source data, confidence tiers, and accountable owner review.

FAQ

What must be reviewed before ERP Data Lineage becomes evidence?

Relevant records include: Source system, object, field, export timestamp, transformation, diagnostic rule, finding, confidence, reviewer, and audit event. The reviewer must also check source context, field meaning, and the stated ambiguity before action.

What ambiguity should reviewers check for ERP Data Lineage?

Lineage does not prove the underlying data is correct; it explains origin and movement.

Which Industrial IQ engine owns the primary relationship?
