Epicor Software Corporation RFID support

Epicor Software now supports radio frequency identification (RFID) as part of its end-to-end Epicor for Distribution solution.

With support for both inbound and outbound RFID, the solution helps midmarket companies meet commercial expectations for distribution and logistics networks.

The inbound RFID capabilities allow for receiving purchase orders against an advanced ship notifications by reading RFID tags.

The system adds new screens that enable RFID device configuration and receiving and do not require line-of-sight for scanning by using readable-writable tags.

The outbound functionality enables tags to be written from the solution’s warehouse management and data collection suite modules during sales order shipping or packout.

The electronic product code data that is written to the tags is stored in the system and is accessible for tracking. EPC data will be available for carton and pallet level shipping labels and will also be included on Outbound ASN’s.

The system also includes enhancements to inventory management including auto-close month-end processing, lot/serial costing and a broader range of global and industry-specific item coding standards.
