Product request on customer or product relocation

If a customer requests a product from a shop or shopping center and then changes to another at a later date, you must decide how the existing request should be handled. The same applies if a product is moved to another shelf. One Identity Manager checks whether the request recipient and the product belong to the same shop after relocating.
