DE 5479 is only used in the case of traceability when the explicit specification of the sequence of countries and locations where activities have been performed is mandatory. The number must be in ascending order, with no gaps and starting from 1.
E.g. packed  meat traceability.

Segment Notes:

This segment may be used for 3 distinct purposes.
1. This segment is used to identify the location of delivery for a split delivery despatch advice.
2. This segment can also be used to identify a delivery location for a specific line item which might be different to the delivery location specified in the NAD or LOC segment in the heading section.
3. This segment can be used as well to specify traceability information for a specific line item. E.g. in the case of a  meat product the processing country or processing facility in order to comply with legal requirements.

It is recommended that GLN - Format n13 - be used to identify delivery locations.

Example:
