Link Trace Information drawer
| Section | Content |

| Event Details | Shipped From, Shipped To, PO Number, Event Date, Shipment Type. |
| Map | Shows the route. |
| Shipment Lots | Traced icon, Product, Lot / Serial, Quantity. |
| All Events tab | Events for the Trade Partner. Shows "No events were found for this trade partner." when none exist. |
| Inventory Lots tab | Candidate prior events. Filter Lot Number. Columns Confidence Score, Product, Lot/Serial, Quantity, Last Event Type, Event Date, Trade Partner, Location; row checkboxes; Link Trace Info button. |
The Confidence Score (for example High 90%) has a Confidence Breakdown tooltip listing the fields compared: PO Number, Event Date, Trade Partner Name, Trade Partner ID, GLN, DUNS, Container Number, GTIN-14, UPC, Product Name / Alias, Traceability Lot Code, Lot / Serial.
When a Receive is linked with Link Trace Info, it requires a Ship event; a Ship is the only event type that can be linked to a Receive. A Receive posted with Direct Receive does not require an earlier Ship.
Direct Receives show as Inbound Shipments (Shipments > Inbound); the Inbound row menu offers Link Trace Info, which links earlier events: on a Receive, upstream events that occurred with a date/time prior to the Direct Receive's date/time. Direct Ships show as Outbound Ship Events in the Outbound Shipments table; adding Trace Info to a Direct Ship in the Outbound tab lets you post events that occurred with a date/time prior to the Direct Ship's date/time.
