architecture_for RELIABLE AGENTIC ERP AUTOMATION
Every mutation gets a business post-condition, idempotency strategy and recovery path. The agent proposes; policy authorizes; a controlled adapter executes; independent read-back verifies the authoritative state.
High-impact ERP capabilities need scoped identities, approval thresholds and separation between proposal and execution. Audit evidence should capture both requested and verified business state.
Queues, rate limits and bounded concurrency protect ERP systems. Measure time-to-verified-state, not only API latency.
