Bulk data work is one of the highest-risk operations in an ERP:
- A bad import can break workflows for weeks
- A “retry” can create duplicates
- A wrong tenant context can become a security incident

The core principle: imports are jobs, not uploads
Treat every import/export as a tracked job:
- Who ran it
- When it ran
- What version of the file/inputs
- Which rows succeeded/failed
- What the failure reasons were
This is what makes bulk operations operable.
A validation-first pipeline (practical)
- Parse: read the file deterministically
- Validate: fail fast with row-level reasons
- Execute: apply side effects with idempotency where possible
- Report: separate successes from failures
- Rerun safely: retries should be expected, not catastrophic
Avoid the “manual cleanup” anti-pattern
If your primary recovery strategy is “manually delete duplicates,” you do not have a safe bulk pipeline.
Instead:
- Design for reruns
- Track job state explicitly
- Ensure tenant isolation is enforced
