This section specifies the template product_location_change.
NOTE
The template has been defined in the context of
UK_Defence.
Refer to the business context for details of related templates.
NOTE
An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is
provided in the
Template overview
section.
This template describes how to represent a relationship between two product locations where one location of the product is
subsequent to the prior location of the product.
The activity that caused the change of location is optionally referenced.
The Product Location business object is used by those UK_Defence Data Exchange
Specifications to represents the relationship between two product locations where
one location of the product is subsequent to the prior location of the product.
Also represents the activity that caused the change of location is optionally
referenced.

The definition of a Product Location Change object is:
This information object represents information about the relationship between two
product locations where one location of the product is subsequent to the prior location
of the product and the activity that caused the change of location is optionally referenced.

The following input parameters are defined for this template:
This is the identifier of the Product Location Change.
The organization that created the associated identifier. Additionally
a Person or Information System could be defined when either of these are the source; see Identifier template characterizations
The reference to the prior location of the product.
The reference to the activity which was responsible for the change of location in the related product.
The reference to the subsequent location of the product.
The reference to the product whose location was changed
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
Allow the
Selected_item
entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The
Selected_item
entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $product_location_change.prod_loc_chg%
where
target
is the parameter to which the
Selected_item
is bound.
The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:
Unique constraint: Unique product location change
Each instance of the
entity
(
Selected_item)
within the data set shall be uniquely identified
by a combination of the following parameters on this
template (product_location_change) namely:
ID,
prior_location,
subsequent_location.
The
instance is
referenced by the following template parameter:
prod_loc_chg.
The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be
instantiated by the template.
A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is
provided in the
Templates Help/Information section.
The following entities are instantiated with attributes as specified:
The instance diagram in Figure
4
shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/product_location_change(ID='prodlocchg123', source_organization='UK_Defence', prior_location='@3', related_activity='@184', subsequent_location='@56', related_product='@109')/
(an illustration of the consolidated product_location_change template is shown in
Figure
5 below.)

The instance diagram in
Figure
5
shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be
used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:
/product_location_change(ID='prodlocchg123', source_organization='UK_Defence', prior_location='@3', related_activity='@184', subsequent_location='@56', related_product='@109')/

Characterizations
No common characterizations of the template
product_location_change
have been identified. However, the ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model
may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
