SKU crosswalk

The mapping between a state-system item, a POS SKU (per POS) and a GL account; carried through POS migrations so history and costing survive.

The crosswalk matters most when a store changes POS. Metrc history survives a switch because it was never in the POS, but the SKU-to-Metrc crosswalk has to be rebuilt, and it is the part of a migration that takes the longest.

That is why it pays to build the SKU ↔ Metrc ↔ GL crosswalk outside the POS. In BudAlly's switch process, mapping is its own step: legacy SKU to Metrc item to new POS SKU to GL, with duplicates merged across stores, so the items are re-mapped and reviewed rather than left behind.

The links are made on the mapping review screen, each with a confidence score. Links at or above 0.90 are auto-accepted, and the rest are reviewed by a person.
