Event Sources and Destinations
Source and destination lists clarify details about events when there is a change of ownership, possession, or location. These are recorded most often on shipping and receive events.
A source or destination list is used to provide additional business context when an EPCIS event is part of a busisness transfer.
EPCIS Standard 1.2, Section 7.3.5.4 (Standard (gs1.org))
The source and destination components of a source or destination list have two key properties:
- Type: Identifies what kind of source or destination is being identified, such as an owner, possessor, or location.
- Source / Destination: The value of the identifier which points to a trading party or location.
For example, the source list below identifies that the owner of the products at the point of shipping has a PGLN of urn:gdst:traceability-solution.com:party:0b4e59bb-29ba-4edd-8e51-7e8d1a96dce7
The destination list below identifies the owner of the products at the point of receipt. Since the PGLN is the same for the source and the destination, there is no change of ownership.
"sourceList": [
{
"type": "urn:epcglobal:cbv:sdt:owning_party",
"source": "urn:gdst:traceability-solution.com:party:0b4e59bb-29ba-4edd-8e51-7e8d1a96dce7"
}
],
"destinationList": [
{
"type": "owning_party",
"destination": "urn:gdst:traceability-solution.com:party:0b4e59bb-29ba-4edd-8e51-7e8d1a96dce7"
}
],

Possessor
