A double-entry ledger model for loyalty points tracks value flows by defining account definitions, transaction mappings, and validity rules for accumulation and consumption. This ensures full traceability and auditability for all value changes across the system.

Modeling reversible transactions in a value-tracking system requires defining specific reversal mechanisms within an accounting-style value flow model. This approach supports refunds and multi-source allocation while maintaining a complete audit trail for every operation.

You should use an accounting archetype for domain modeling when your system involves accumulation, consumption, transfer, or expiry of quantifiable value like credits or leave days. State machines are better suited for workflow systems rather than auditable value-tracking domains.

Implementing allocation strategies for value consumption involves defining rules within your accounting model that specify transaction mappings and validity constraints. This determines which point source, such as earned or promotional points, is depleted first during operations.

Yes, the accounting archetype approach works for tracking inventory units and leave days by applying double-entry transaction mappings and validity rules. It handles expiry, accumulation, and transfer of quantifiable value while ensuring full auditability across all domain resources.
