Implementing a workflow rule that sends Opportunity data through Outbound Messaging is the optimal real-time approach that achieves the solution of copying Opportunity records to the ERP once they reach a Closed/Won Stage. A workflow rule can trigger an Outbound Message when an Opportunity record meets certain criteria, such as having a Closed/Won Stage. An Outbound Message can send data from Salesforce to an external system via SOAP API, without requiring any code. The external system can then process the data and create a read-only record in the ERP system.The other options are not optimal or real-time, as they would either require additional systems or tools, not provide real-time data synchronization, or not meet the frequency requirement

Implementing a Master Data Management strategy to reconcile Leads, Accounts, and Contacts is the approach that the architect should suggest so that the requirements are met for UC. A Master Data Management strategy can provide a consistent and unified view of data across multiple systems, by defining and enforcing rules for data quality, governance, and integration. A Master Data Management strategy can also handle complex scenarios where different systems have different systems of record for different entities or fields, and where data can be modified in different systems with different values. A Master Data Management strategy can also provide a consolidated data store that links referenced records across systems and enables cross-system reporting and analysis.The other options are not suitable or sufficient for meeting the requirements, as they would either not provide a consolidated data store, not handle different systems of record, or not allow data modification in different system

Whether the system of record changes for different tables and the number of systems that are integrating with each other are two factors that the architect should take into consideration when deciding whether or not to use a Master Data Management system to achieve the solution of integrating data and resolving duplicates and discrepancies between Salesforce and one or more external systems. The system of record is the authoritative source of truth for a given entity or field in a given context. If different systems have different systems of record for different tables, then a Master Data Management system can help to manage and synchronize the data across systems and ensure data quality and consistency. The number of systems that are integrating with each other is another factor that affects the complexity and scalability of the integration solution. If there are many systems that need to integrate with each other, then a Master Data Management system can provide a centralized and standardized way of integrating data and resolving duplicates and discrepancies across systems. The other factors are not relevant or important for deciding whether or not to use a Master Data Management system, as they do not affect the data quality or integration challenges that a Master Data Management system can address.

Key stakeholders from both systems should collaborate with the Architect to determine which system is the system of record on a field level is what the Architect should do to achieve this goal of integrating two different systems with customer records into the Salesforce Account object using Master Data Management. The system of record is the authoritative source of truth for a given entity or field in a given context. Different systems may have different levels of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or relevance for different fields. Therefore, it is important to involve key stakeholders from both systems who have knowledge and expertise about their data quality and business needs to decide which system should be the system of record for each field. The Architect should facilitate this collaboration and document the decisions and rationale for each field. The other options are not correct or feasible, as they would either delegate or abdicate the responsibility of determining the system of record, ignore or disregard the input from key stakeholders, or assume or impose a default system of record without considering the data quality and business needs.

Option A is correct because integrating Salesforce with the ERP environment is a technique to maintain data synchronization between systems1.Option C is correct because utilizing an MDM strategy to outline a single source of truth is another technique to ensure data quality and consistency across systems2.Option B is not correct because utilizing workbench to update files within systems is not a technique to maintain data synchronization, but a tool to perform data manipulation tasks3.Option D is not correct because building synchronization reports and dashboards is not a technique to maintain data synchronization, but a way to monitor and analyze data4.

Option D is correct because data flows should be reviewed with the business users to determine the system of record per object or field1.The system of record is the authoritative source of data for a given entity or attribute2. It may vary depending on the business context and requirements.Option A is not correct because account and opportunity data originates in Salesforce, but it may not be the system of record for all attributes or objects if they are updated by other systems2.Option B is not correct because whatever system updates the attribute or object may not be the system of record for that field or object if there are conflicting or overlapping updates from other systems2.Option C is not correct because whatever integration data flow runs last may not determine which system is the system of record if there are different business rules or logic applied by different systems2.

Option A is correct because RecordType is a valid metadata type that should be included in documenting the data architecture of a Salesforce organization1.RecordType defines different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts for different users2.Option C is correct because CustomField is another valid metadata type that should be included in documenting the data architecture of a Salesforce organization1.CustomField defines custom attributes for standard or custom objects3.Option B is not correct because Document is not a valid metadata type, but a standard object that stores documents in folders4. Option D is not correct because SecuritySettings is not a valid metadata type, but a setup menu that allows administrators to configure various security features such as password policies, network access, session settings, etc.

Option B is correct because data model is a key artifact that an architect should use to document the data architecture for a multi-system, enterprise Salesforce implementation1.Data model describes the structure and relationship of data entities within an organization2.Option C is correct because integration specification is another key artifact that an architect should use to document the data architecture for a multi-system, enterprise Salesforce implementation1.Integration specification defines the scope, requirements, design, testing, and deployment of integration solutions between Salesforce and other systems3.Option A is not correct because user stories are not key artifacts for documenting the data architecture, but agile development tools that capture the features and functionalities that users want from a system4. Option D is not correct because non-functional requirements are not key artifacts for documenting the data architecture, but quality attributes that specify how well a system performs its functions.

Option B is correct because putting the business purpose in the Description of each field is a method that an architect can use to trace back configuration changes to the detailed requirements1.The Description of each field provides a brief explanation of what the field is used for and why it is needed2.Option D is correct because using the Force.com IDE to save the metadata files in source control is another method that an architect can use to trace back configuration changes to the detailed requirements1.The Force.com IDE is an integrated development environment that allows developers to work with Salesforce metadata files and Apex code3.Source control is a system that tracks and manages changes to code and configuration files4. Option A is not correct because reviewing the setup audit trail for configuration changes is not a method to trace back configuration changes to the detailed requirements, but a way to monitor and audit the changes made in the setup area. Option C is not correct because maintaining a data dictionary with the justification for each field is not a method to trace back configuration changes to the detailed requirements, but a document that provides information about the data entities and attributes in a system.
