Enterprise SAP RFID Integration for S/4HANA & Business One
Bridge physical dock door portals and industrial conveyor readers directly into SAP S/4HANA, EWM, and Business One. Decompose 96-bit GS1 SGTIN EPC tags into validated material documents, automated Goods Movement 101 postings, and serialized audit trails.

How RFID EPC Tags Map to SAP Materials (MATNR)
Physical RFID chips do not store verbose descriptions. They encode a binary 96-bit SGTIN identifier. Our edge gateway decomposes the binary stream into enterprise GS1 and SAP entities:
Rejecting Adjacent Dock Door Cross-Reads
In enterprise distribution centers, dock doors are spaced only 3–4 meters apart. Without edge filtering, an RFID portal at Dock Door 3 will accidentally capture tags passing through Dock Door 4. OpenRFID applies multi-variable physics filtering:
RSSI Signal Gradient
Tags in the active portal exhibit a steep Bell-curve signal trajectory exceeding -55 dBm. Crosstalk from neighboring doors remains diffuse below -72 dBm and is stripped at the hardware buffer.
Phase Angle Delta (Δθ)
As a forklift transits through the portal, the radio wave phase angle rotates predictably (Δθ = 2π × 2d / λ). Tags on stationary pallets or adjacent doors produce zero phase rotation and are suppressed.
Beam-Break Interlock
Industrial retro-reflective photo-eye sensors mounted on the dock frame trigger RF transmission only when the vehicle body enters the portal, eliminating continuous RF pollution.
GS1 EPCIS 2.0 JSON-LD Supply Chain Event Schema
Our gateway serializes pallet transactions into W3C JSON-LD EPCIS 2.0 events for SAP Advanced Track and Trace (ATTP) and global regulatory compliance:

SAP S/4HANA (BAPI RFC) & Business One (Service Layer) Connectors
Depending on your SAP platform, our gateway executes the appropriate native transaction interface:
BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE
Executes Goods Movement 101 (Receipt against Purchase Order) or 311 (Plant-to-Plant Transfer) with handling units and serial number assignments directly in SAP core.
GOODSMVT_HEADER-PSTNG_DATE = '20260912'
GOODSMVT_ITEM-MOVE_TYPE = '101'
GOODSMVT_ITEM-MATERIAL = 'MAT-8901234'
GOODSMVT_ITEM-ENTRY_QTY = 50
GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER = ['SN1001', 'SN1002']
POST /b1s/v2/InventoryGenEntries
Connects via HTTPS REST with B1SESSION cookie auth. Automatically converts dock door scan bursts into Goods Receipts with serialized lot allocation.
