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.)
|
laboratory_test
|
|
Added
|
loading
|
|
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.
|
packing
|
|
Activity of putting objects into a larger container – usually for shipping. Aggregation of one unit to another typically occurs at this point
|
picking
|
|
Activity of selecting of objects to fill an order
|
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
|
|
Activity at a point-of-sale for the purpose of transferring ownership to a customer in exchange for something of value (currency, credit, etc.)
|
sampling
|
|
A testing activity where one or more portions of an object are examined for quality testing, quality inspection, or customs clearance purposes. In contrast to inspected objects, sampled objects are no longer viable in the supply chain
|
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
|
staging_outbound
|
|
Activity in which an object moves from a facility to an area where it will await transport pick-up
|
stock_taking
|
|
Activity of counting objects within a location following established rules and/or standards to serve as a basis for accounting purposes

stocking
|
|
Activity within a location to make an object available to the customer or for order fulfilment within a DC
