When you upload RDC count information for non-consignment customers from the Palm device to the system, the system sends the count information to the following places:
RDC Administrator's Hold Entries as a sync log.
Defined user's message queue if an order is created from the count information.
Remote Order Entry Review Queue if an order is created from the count information.
Upon notification that count information is uploaded and orders created, review the information or orders.
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.
