Agenda for the call

@Sebastian Brudziński

  • Remind the goal - figure out next steps for the Angola team

 



Where are we at now

@Josh Zamor

  • We have events and a table that stores them

  • Stock card line items is the read-write side - we never delete or update them

 

Use case for figuring SoH as of any given date

team

  • Do we need to be able to retrieve SoH as it was reported on any given date?

 

Our approach to tackle SoH

team

  • Simply store SoH into Stock Cards - simplest solution but only stores SoH as of most recent event

  • Introduce Stock on Hand table to store current SoH with every stock event - also doesn’t need to be with every event - events from the same day could update one record

  • Would it make sense to merge the approaches? - Could be too soon for optimizing the fact table + write operation would be slower

 

Next steps?
