(Item/Line) : EPC 1

EPC - Electronic Product Code. A universal identifier that gives a globally unique identity to a specific physical object. While the EAN/UPC item reference/barcode points to the general Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), the EPC points to which specific physical piece of that SKU the package contains. EPCs are usually encoded on RFID tags which can be used to track all kinds of objects. (Multiple EPCs can be specified for the same DESADV item, if the item segment holds a quantity >1, meaning there are multiple unique pieces referred on that DESADV-item. EPCs properties should then be differentiated as electronicProductCode, electronicProductCode2, electronicProductCode3 etc...)
