Description

The accepted values for payment_method field for stg_customers are defined in `models/staging/schema.yml'.

version: 2

models:
  - name: stg_customers
    columns:
      - name: customer_id
        tests:
          - unique
          - not_null

  - name: stg_orders
    columns:
      - name: order_id
        tests:
          - unique
          - not_null
      - name: status
        tests:
          - accepted_values:
              values: ['placed', 'shipped', 'completed', 'return_pending', 'returned']

  - name: stg_payments
    columns:
      - name: payment_id
        tests:
          - unique
          - not_null
      - name: payment_method
        tests:
          - accepted_values:
              values: ['credit_card', 'coupon', 'bank_transfer', 'gift_card']

These values are used in models/orders.sql.

-- ...

order_payments as (

    select
        order_id,

        {% for payment_method in payment_methods -%}
        sum(case when payment_method = '{{ payment_method }}' then amount else 0 end)
            as {{ payment_method }}_amount,
        {% endfor -%}

        sum(amount) as total_amount

    from payments

    group by order_id

),

Can payment_methods defined once in `models/staging/schema.yml', so that we could avoid data inconsistencies in the future. If it is possible, how can I do it?
