Claim 10:
11. A method for tracking a provenance of an item comprising:
receiving, at a provenance and flow tracking system (PTFS) operating on a computing platform, a subsequent provenance transaction request of a transaction pair from a client enterprise system (ES) to track a provenance of an item-set and a transaction type;
authenticating, by an identity system, an account employed on the client ES;
generating, by the PTFS, the subsequent provenance transaction of the transaction pair for the item-set responsive to authentication of the account employed on the client ES, wherein the subsequent provenance transaction includes a transaction identifier (ID) that identifies the subsequent provenance transaction, wherein the subsequent provenance transaction is a receive item transaction, a transformation transaction, a receive custody transaction or a receive service transaction;
storing, by the PTFS, the subsequent provenance transaction on a blockchain through a blockchain interface; and
reconciling, by the PTFS, a prior provenance transaction of the transaction pair in response to storing the subsequent provenance transaction, wherein the reconciling comprises:
attempting to identify the prior provenance transaction; and
updating the prior provenance transaction on the blockchain through the blockchain interface to include the transaction ID of the subsequent provenance transaction in response to identifying the prior provenance transaction.
