Receiving events capture the receipt of product(s) that has that have been transported from one physical location to another. When products are received at a new facility, traceability data should be captured to maintain traceability.
Examples include:
- Receiving cattle at a facility or farm or feedlot for growth or finishing.
- Receiving cattle at a slaughter facility.
- Receiving hides, carcasses, or other intermediate products for further processing.
- Receiving finished products at an exporter, importer, distributor, or other downstream facility.
If products were aggregated into a logistical unit (e.g., pallet, container, or truckload) before shipping, the receiving event should be recorded on that same logistical unit prior to disaggregation. Conversely, if the products were not aggregated prior to shipping, then the receiving event should be recorded for the individual product identifiers (e.g., EPCs) as they were represented in the shipping event. The EPCs specified in the shipping event should match those specified in the receiving event.
Below are the KDEs that should be recorded with the event.
KDE | CBV Field | Data Description |
Event Type | eventType | OBJECT* |
Action | action | OBSERVE* |
Business Step | bizStep | RECEIVING* |
Disposition | disposition | ARRIVED* |
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) | epcList | The EPCs of the product(s) or the logistical unit(s) that are being received. This field is used when products are being traced using instance-level traceability. |
Product Identification (EPC) | quantityList | The EPCs and quantity of the products that are being received. 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 product(s) are received at the destination facility. |
Event Location ID | bizLocation | The GLN of the location where the product(s) are received. |
Source Location ID | sourceList.location | The GLN identifying the location from which the product(s) were shipped. |
Event Location ID | destinationList.location | The GLN of the location where the product(s) are received. |
*Indicates that the value is always this value.
