The operating problem
What needs to become clearer
A business may understand data ownership: meaning for a small business in principle and still handle it inconsistently while moving records from notebooks, spreadsheets or an older application into a controlled starting position. The useful question is who owns data ownership, when it is recorded and how an exception is approved.
Recommended approach
Start with the workflow, then test the software
Map data ownership on paper before configuration. Ask the responsible operator to inventory source files, remove duplicates, test a small import and reconcile before cutover, while a second person checks the result against source backups, mapping rules, sample-import results and signed opening reconciliations.
Implementation path
A practical sequence
- 1
Back up the relevant records before changing data ownership
- 2
Test the normal case on non-sensitive data
- 3
Repeat the test with an error or return
- 4
Retain source backups, mapping rules, sample-import results and signed opening reconciliations as proof
- 5
Approve, revise or reject the proposed routine
