Reviewing Uploaded RDC Consigned Count Information

When you upload RDC count information for consignment locations from the Palm device to the system, the system sends the count information to the following places:

Upon notification that count information has been uploaded and billings of usage have been created, review the information or orders. After reviewing the uploaded data, process billings of usage and create replenishment transfers as needed.

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.
