Which data element is NOT listed as captured by the EPCIS/EPICS framework?

• A. Status
• B. Price
• C. Location
• D. Movement

Answer: (B)

EPCIS/EPICS focuses on recording events that describe what happened to a product as it moves through the supply chain. It captures item identity, where the event occurred (read point and business location), when it happened (event time), and the business context (business step and disposition). Movement is reflected through changes in location and the business step, so you’re effectively documenting how items travel from place to place. Status can be represented by the disposition or the state within a process.

Price is not part of the EPCIS event data model; pricing information lives in pricing or ERP systems and isn’t carried in EPCIS events. So the data element not captured by this framework is price.
