I agree. From what I know, the RFID is just a tag that can transmit more information without being scanned. Something like a 2D barcode using Radio instead of light. The problem is going to be the same as with existing UCC128 labels. How do we bring the 20 digit UCC Container code into the ERP/EDI system? >I wonder though what role VANs will play, if any, in a companies > RFID solution.

They are just another way to identify the physical goods being shipped. > I have seen some 856 documents that were not generated by the creator of the goods to be shipped but by third party warehouses , shippers and such. Normally, the 3PL gets a 940 before creating the 856. The 940 tells them what to ship. They create the 856 and send it to the end-user, and also send us back a 945 document (in response to our 940).
