Source List Requirements
Both owning_party and location must be set on the source list. The source list is an array property of objects that have a type and source property. Entries in sourceList tie the shipment to originating locations and product owners.
| KDE | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| type | Indicates what is identified by the value, typically the owning party or location | urn:epcglobal:cbv:sdt:owning_party, urn:epcglobal:cbv:sdt:location |
| source | Either a PGLN or GDST party identifier to indicate the owning party or a GLN or GDST location identifier to indicate the location. | urn:epc:id:sgln:08600031303.0.0, urn:gdst:example.org:party:example_prefix.0, urn:gdst:example.org:location:loc:example_prefix.0 |

]Destination List Requirements
Both the owning_party and location must be set on the destination list. The destination list is an array property of objects that have a type and source property. Entries in destinationList tie the shipment to destination locations and product owners.
| KDE | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| type | Indicates what is identified by the value, typically the owning party or location | urn:epcglobal:cbv:sdt:owning_party, urn:epcglobal:cbv:sdt:location |
| destination | Either a PGLN or GDST party identifier to indicate the owning party or a GLN or GDST location identifier to indicate the location. | urn:epc:id:sgln:08600031303.0.0, urn:gdst:example.org:party:example_prefix.0, urn:gdst:example.org:location:loc:example_prefix.0 |
