neighbor
- WM-FLW-004 Goods Movement / Logistics - Goods Movement / Logistics is a broader flow context. Shipment / Consignment owns the bounded trade or transport grouping and its assertions; the registered parent signal remains candidate until both models are jointly reviewed.
- WM-OBJ-021 Handling Unit / Logistics Container - Shipment / Consignment records membership, loading, marks and seals. Handling-unit identity, physical properties, nesting, condition and lifecycle remain externally mastered; CONTAINS is accepted only as typed membership.
- WM-FLW-009 Journey / Trip and WM-FLW-010 Route / Itinerary - Shipment / Consignment binds planned or actual transport references and milestones. Journey execution, route geometry, movement observations and outcomes remain externally mastered.
- WM-FLW-012 Inventory Movement - A shipment milestone may cause or correlate with inventory movement, but stock ledger, location balance, reservation and inventory adjustment remain Inventory Movement concerns.
- WM-FLW-013 Supply-chain Trace / Chain of Custody - The model binds source-qualified milestones and current custody or responsibility assertions. Cross-organizational event graph, chain-of-custody proof and trace-query lifecycle remain in the trace pattern.
- WM-ECO-024 Fulfilment / Delivery - Fulfilment may reference shipments as physical delivery evidence. Commercial obligation, acceptance, proof evaluation, remedies and fulfilment outcome remain externally mastered.
- Transport document, Customs declaration and Insurance claim - Shipping instructions, waybills, bills of lading, declarations and claims are independently governed records referenced by the shipment or consignment; their issuance, legal effect and adjudication are external.
