Assigning the Current Caster

The current caster identifies the supplier currently associated with a Physical Mold's casting context.

What Current Caster means

The current caster is the supplier currently associated with the Physical Mold for casting context.

It is a current operational fact, not a permanent historical statement about every past casting.

Where it is used

Current caster can be shown in production and costing views, including Piece/Physical Mold context and metal-cost provenance.

Supplier-specific evidence should only be considered when it belongs to the relevant supplier/caster according to the current pricing rules.

Keep it current

Update the Physical Mold when casting responsibility changes.

Do not clear a valid current caster merely because a workflow does not currently need supplier-specific evidence. Other workflows may use the current caster as important context.

If supplier evidence is not used

A current caster does not guarantee that supplier evidence will win a price or casting-factor decision.

Prisflux applies the rules of the specific resolver/workflow and shows the resulting provenance where supported.
