Use Auto Replenishment to create RDC orders without pre-defining customers on the Palm device. Auto Replenishment uses unique identifiers to tie individual products to customers so that it is not necessary to define customers on the Palm device. When Palm RDC encounters an auto-replenishment number, it immediately recognizes the customer and applies the correct order information.
Note: You do need to define customers and products for whom you are using Auto Replenishment in the system.
Auto Replenishment is similar to RDC Order and Stock Levels Replenishment. You can create Auto Replenishment orders in Order or Stock Levels mode. With Auto Replenishment, however, you can also create orders to completely replenish stock no matter what the on-hand quantity is. Review, upload, and process Auto Replenishment data the same as you do Order and Stock Levels Replenishment data.
To use Auto Replenishment, perform the following tasks:
Select Auto Replenishment scanning modes to determine the way in which orders are created.
Review Auto Replenishment orders before uploading to the system.
Upload Auto Replenishment orders to the system from the Palm device.
After uploading Auto Replenishment data to the system, review and process the information depending on the type of customer – either consignment or non-consignment – for whom the Auto Replenishment order is being created.
