Keep relationships and pending work in the pack
Synthetic exit snapshot X-5 contains two customers C-1/C-2 and three bookings B-1/B-2/B-3. B-1 and B-2 link to C-1; B-3 links to C-2. A pending correction belongs to B-2. This is a data-pack specification, not a completed export.
| Pack part | Synthetic contents | Receiving check |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot identity | X-5; snapshot point and agreed included period recorded | All files refer to X-5, not mixed dates |
| Linked datasets | Customers C-1/C-2; bookings B-1/B-2/B-3 with customer IDs | 2 customers, 3 bookings, all three links resolvable |
| Unresolved work | B-2 correction pending with owner and original value | Receiver can identify the outstanding task |
Row counts alone do not establish continuity
The receiver gets two customer rows and three booking rows, but no customer IDs on bookings. Is X-5 complete under this pack?
Show the worked answer
No. Counts match but relationships cannot be resolved. Request booking customer IDs and the B-2 correction record before closing the receiving check.
An exit pack describes operational continuity, not entitlement to extract, transfer or delete data. Agree actual permitted scope and retain the broader handover inventory for code, accounts and recovery materials.
