EDI, UCCnet & RFID focuses on three main technology enablers for synchronizing the supply chain: EDI, global data synchronization (using the UCCnet), and RFID. You'll learn about standards for transaction and message creation (Including X12, XML, XSL, and RosettaNet); Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs), Global Location Numbers (GLNs), and the Electronic Product Code (EPC); message transportation media for e-commerce and EDI transactions; software applications required to enable the creation, storage, editing, discarding, and sharing of those messages; software selection; and measures you can take to increase transactional integrity and security. The book also examines the benefits and challenges faced in using EDI, global data synchronization, and RFID, including legal, regulatory, and audit concerns.
