Assetization persists the fulfilled customer state. Commercial order items become or update Salesforce Assets, and the technical side of fulfillment becomes Inventory Items where applicable. That durable state represents what the customer currently owns and provides the baseline against which future MACD transactions are created and decomposed. The recommended configuration follows the native Communications Cloud responsibility boundary: catalog and CPQ determine the commercial request, while Order Management, OmniStudio, or the relevant platform service performs the downstream processing required by the use case. Assetization is not an in-memory cache and its primary purpose is not simply external data exposure. Its value is lifecycle persistence: the platform can subsequently compare a new request with the installed commercial and technical state and determine the correct change actions. Avoiding duplicate logic is important because repeated rules across catalog, integration, and orchestration layers quickly become inconsistent as products evolve. The selected approach keeps the authoritative data in the correct object model, supports later lifecycle operations, and minimizes additional processing or manual intervention. It should be implemented declaratively wherever the platform feature can express the requirement, with customization reserved only for behavior that genuinely falls outside the supported framework.
