Catalogue
The shared definition of every item, so each application describes a part the same way.

What it is
Catalogue answers “what is this item?” It says nothing about how many there are (Inventory) or what they cost and who supplies them (Purchasing and Supplier).
It holds each item’s code, description, type (part, consumable, rotable, repairable, tool, material or service), unit, tracking flags and manufacturer identifiers, along with the other numbers an item is known by, such as an OEM, legacy or barcode number. It also records substitutes, where an item may be fitted, and what supersedes it. Keeping the definition in one place means a change, such as an item superseded or a substitute approved, is made once.
Network testing
This application is part of the Work & Supply Network. It is built to run inside its network, and this standalone copy can be launched on its own. The recorded runs on the network’s page show it working with the others.
System boundaries
Where specialist systems already perform these functions, they can remain in place. DSLCore is intended to hold the governed operational layer around them: workflow, decisions, approvals, actions, evidence and reporting.
This application is in network testing: it is built to run inside its network, and this standalone copy shows it on its own. This is a working demonstration. An implementation would be tailored and validated against your organisation's terminology, controls and systems.
