Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes determining that a group of items left a space together based on RFID exit times and determining that at least one item of the group of items left the space without authorization by evaluating transactions that took place within a first time period before the at least one item left the space. A single investigation file is automatically created that includes the group of items that left the space together.
