Shipping
Shipping events capture the dispatch of product(s) from one physical location to another. Shipping events occur throughout beef and leather supply chains for a variety of purposes.
Examples include:
- Shipping cattle to a new farm for initial growth.
- Shipping cattle to a feedlot for finishing prior to slaughter.
- Shipping cattle to a slaughter facility.
- Shipping hides, carcasses, or other intermediate products to a facility for further processing.
- Shipping finished products to an exporter, importer, distributor, or other downstream facility.
If products are aggregated into a logistical unit (e.g., a pallet, container, or truckload) prior to shipping, the shipping event should be recorded on that logistical unit rather than on the individual items contained within it. Conversely, if products are not aggregated, the shipping event should reference the individual EPCs or lot identifiers of the products themselves.
Below are the KDEs that should be recorded with the event.

Action | action | OBSERVE* |

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 logistical unit(s) being shipped. This field is used when products are being traced using instance-level traceability. |
Product Identification (EPC) | quantityList | The EPCs and quantity of the products being shipped. 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 shipped from the facility. |
Event Location ID | bizLocation | The GLN of the location from which the product(s) were shipped. |
Source Location ID | sourceList.location | The GLN of the location from which the product(s) were shipped. |
Destination Location ID | destinationList.location | The GLN of the location where the product(s) will be received. |
