Understanding EPC Inbound Processing

The system processes RFID information during the inbound ASN (Advance Ship Notice) process. The system can carry the EPC number inbound through to the receipt file and it displays on some receipt routing forms. Carton Serial Number field (EPC) exists in these tables:

  • EDI Shipping Notice Detail – Inbound (F47032)

  • EDI Receiving Advice Detail – Inbound (F47072)

  • Purchase Order Receiver (F43121)

These programs also process the EPC:

  • Status Inquiry Revisions (P47030). You can edit this field on the Inbound EDI Shipping Detail Revisions form.

  • Receipt Routing Movements and Disposition. On the Receipt Routing Movement form, the EPC exists as a filter field in the header and detail area.

    Note: The system does not display the EPC field on the Receipt Routing Movement form if you enter 1 in the Show Shipment and Pack Information processing option on the Display tab.
  • Routing Ledger Inquiry (P43252). On the Work With Receipt Routing Ledger (W43252D) form the EPC Number field exists as a header filter field and for QBE functionality.

  • EDI Shipping Notice Edit/Create (R47031). The system displays the EPC information on this report.

  • Inbound Receiving Advice Edit/Update (R47071). The system creates license plate data from inbound advance ship notices (ASN) for on-hand quantities received.

    Note: You can process only one entire inbound ASN batch of records at a time.
  • License Plate Management (46L). You can generate EPC numbers for items when processing license plate information.
