Events in OriginsNext can be created/generated in two primary ways:
System Integration: Events can be automatically created through integration with third-party platforms in your supply chain. Find out about the API integration schema here
CSV Upload: Users can manually upload events using structured CSV files that match the required template.
Why does this matter?
Generating events allows organisations to capture key supply chain activities and attach them to product records. This supports compliance, traceability, and data transparency across the ecosystem.
Note: Each Event has a visibility setting: Private (visible only to the organisation that performed the Event) or My Product Partners (visible to organisations connected to the Product, for example through ownership or Order sharing). In a CSV upload, set it in the Permission column by entering Private or MyProductPartners. To understand the difference, see Why can't I see all the Events in a Product's journey?
