Salesforce Plat-Arch-201 Exam - Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

All accounts and opportunities are created in Salesforce. Salesforce is integrated with three systems:* An ERP system feeds order data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.* An accounting system feeds invoice data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.* A commission system feeds commission data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.How should the architect determine which of these systems is the system of record?
D) Data flows should be reviewed with the business users to determine the system of record per object or field.
A) Account and opportunity data originates in Salesforce, and therefore Salesforce is the system of record.
B) Whatever system updates the attribute or object should be the system of record for that field or object.
C) Whatever integration data flow runs last will, by default, determine which system is the system of record.

All accounts and opportunities are created in Salesforce. Salesforce is integrated with three systems:

* An ERP system feeds order data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.

* An accounting system feeds invoice data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.

* A commission system feeds commission data into Salesforce and updates both Account and Opportunity records.

How should the architect determine which of these systems is the system of record?

Suggested Answer: D

Option D is correct because data flows should be reviewed with the business users to determine the system of record per object or field1. The system of record is the authoritative source of data for a given entity or attribute2. It may vary depending on the business context and requirements. Option A is not correct because account and opportunity data originates in Salesforce, but it may not be the system of record for all attributes or objects if they are updated by other systems2. Option B is not correct because whatever system updates the attribute or object may not be the system of record for that field or object if there are conflicting or overlapping updates from other systems2. Option C is not correct because whatever integration data flow runs last may not determine which system is the system of record if there are different business rules or logic applied by different systems2.

I think D is the best choice. Business users know their data.

I disagree with A; Salesforce can't be the system of record if other systems are feeding it.

Wait, so C just assumes the last system is always right? That seems risky.

C seems too simplistic, there’s more to it than just the last update.

Wait, how can we trust the last update? Sounds risky!

I recall that the last system to update could overwrite previous data, but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to determine the system of record.

I feel like option B makes sense since the system that updates the data should logically be the one that owns it, but I’m not completely confident.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to identify the system of record based on data flow. Option D seems to align with that approach.

I remember discussing how the system of record is crucial for data integrity, but I'm not entirely sure which option best captures that concept.
