Disaggregation events capture the breaking down of a logistical unit into its individual components, allowing each item to once again be tracked on its own. This process is essential for maintaining traceability when products that were grouped for transport, storage, or internal handling need to be separated for further use.
Examples include:
- Cattle are offloaded at a feedlot after receiving and disaggregated so that they can be tracked by their serialized ear tags.
- A leather finishing factory breaks down a pallet of hides they received into distinct lots based on grade.
- A distribution center breaks down a pallet of finished goods so that certain cases can be re-packed into a new pallets destined for specific customers.
Disaggregation most often occurs immediately after receiving events, but it can also occur entirely within a single facility if products are reorganized, re-packed, or redirected.
Below are the KDEs that should be recorded with the event.
KDE | CBV Field | Data Description |
Event Type | eventType | AGGREGATION* |
Action | action | DELETE* |
Business Step | bizStep | PACKING* |
Event ID | eventID | Identifier for the event that distinguishes it from other recorded events (this is usually generated by the capturing application) |
Product Identification (EPC) – Input | parentId | The SSCC of the logistical unit that the products are aggregated into. |
Product Identification (EPC) – Output | childEpcList | The EPCs of the products that are being disaggregated. This field is used when products are being traced using instance-level traceability. |
Product Identification (EPC) – Output | childQuantityList | The EPCs and quantity of the products that are being disaggregated. This field is used when products are being traced using lot-level traceability. (epcClass, quantity, and uom elements should be included) |
Event Date & Time | eventTime | The date and time that the products are disaggregated from the logistical unit. |
Event Location ID | bizLocation | The GLN of the location from where the products are received. |
*Indicates that the value is always this value.
