Table values |
Adoption note |
|
accepting
|
|
Activity where an object changes possession and/or ownership
|
|
arriving
|
|
Activity where an object arrives at a location
|
|
assembling
|
|
Activity whereby one or more objects are combined to create a new finished
product (after, original objects are still recognisable and/or process is reversible;
hence, preferably use assembling in an Aggregation Event, not a Transformation Event)
|
|
collecting
|
|
Activity where an object is picked up and collected for future disposal, recycling or re-used
|
|
commissioning
|
|
Activity of associating an instance-level identifier (such as an EPC) with a specific object, or a class-level identifier, not previously used, with one or more objects
|
|
consigning
|
|
Indicates the overall process of staging_outbound, loading, departing, and accepting. It may be used when more granular process step information is unknown or inaccessible
|
|
creating_class_instance
|
|
Activity where an instance or increased quantity of a class-level identifier is produced
|
|
cycle_counting
|
|
Activity of counting objects within a location
|
|
decommissioning
|
|
Activity of disassociating an instance-level identifier (such as an EPC) with an object. The object may be re-commissioned at some point in the future – however only with a new instance-level identifier
|
|
departing
|
|
Activity where an object leaves a location on its way to a destination
|
|
destroying
|
|
Activity of terminating an object (e.g an empty case is placed in the incinerator )
|
|
disassembling
|
|
Activity where an object is broken down into separate, uniquely identified component parts
|
|
dispensing
|
|
Activity where a product is made available in full or part to a consumer
|
|
encoding
|
|
Activity of writing an instance-level identifier (typically an EPC) to a barcode or RFID tag, where the identifier is not yet associated with an object at this step in the process. Encoding SHOULD only be used in a TransactionEvent
|
|
entering_exiting
|
|
Activity the Entrance/Exit door of a facility where customers are either leaving with purchased product or entering with product to be returned to the facility
|
|
holding
|
|
Activity where an object is segregated for further review
|

inspecting
|
|
Activity of reviewing objects to address potential physical or
documentation defects (objects remain viable in the supply chain)
|
|
installing
|
|
Activity where an object is put into a composite object (not merely a container). In installing the composite object exists prior to this step, whereas in assembling the composite object is created during the step
|
|
killing
|
|
Activity of terminating an RFID tag previously associated with an object. The object and its instance-level identifier may continue to exist and be the subject of subsequent events (via a barcode, manual data entry, replacement tag, etc.)

|
Activity where an object is loaded into shipping conveyance
|
|
other
|
|
A business step not identified by any of the values listed in the code list.

|
|
receiving
|
|
Activity where an object is being received at a location and is added to the receiver's inventory
|
|
removing

Activity where an object is taken out of a composite object
|
|
repackaging
|
|
Activity where an object’s packaging configuration is changed
|
|
repairing
|
|
Activity where a malfunctioning product is repaired (typically by a post-sales service), without replacing it by a new one
|
|
replacing
|
|
Activity where an object is substituted or exchanged for another object
|
|
reserving
|
|
Activity in which a set of instance-level identifiers, not yet commissioned, are provided for use by another part
|
|
retail_selling

|

|
|
sensor_reporting
|
|
Activity where sensor data, pertaining to the physical properties and condition of an object or location, is returned
|
|
shipping
|
|
Indicates the overall process of staging_outbound, loading and departing. It may be used when more granular process step information is unknown or inaccessible
