View and manage an EPC
Filter the EPC list, view a unique unit’s location, route and history, and change its status with an audit reason.
Every unique unit in Beam has an EPC: the code on its RFID label. EPCs shows all units at your working location, where they are and what has happened to them.
Filter the list
Filter by status: Stock, Picked, Written off, Pending or Printed. Count filters include Never included, Recently missed and Missed in last 3+. Sort by Last seen, Last updated or EPC code.
A unit missed in several counts may be a candidate for writing off.
