RDC Replenishment Transfers for Consigned Inventory Overview

Use Palm RDC to maintain customer consignment locations' inventory. As with non-consignment locations, you can maintain inventory through Order and Stock Levels modes.

To maintain inventory at customer consignment locations, perform the following tasks:

• Count inventory at the customer location.

• Review count information on the Palm device.

• Upload count data from the Palm device to the system.

• Review count information on the system.

• Resolve any counting errors.

• Process billings of usage.

• Create consignment transfers for replenishment.

Note: If you have customer locations that use flat files instead of Palm devices to collect count data, upload and process the data using RDC Flat File Processing.

Before maintaining inventory at customer consignment locations, define the following:

• Customer consignment locations on the system.

• Customers for whom to create orders both in the system and on the Palm device.

• Palm RDC counting preferences.

• Products to order.

• Product locations.

In addition, you will need to perform an initial consignment transfer of inventory to the customer's location.
