RFID Print File Format

You can use the Create RFID Print File screen export radio frequency identification (RFID) information into a tilde-delimited text file.

The RFID print file contains one row for each RFID. Costpoint sorts the rows by sales order, packing slip number, RFID pack layer, and RFID.

You can import this print file to third-party software to produce the following:

RFID tags
MIL-STD-129P military shipment labels (MSL)
Exterior labels

Note: As noted in the table below, some Costpoint fields use different format or field length than the requirement for MSL. The third-party printing software you use should be able to reformat or truncate these fields as necessary.
