Before identifying the products to count at customer locations, decide whether you will use Auto Replenishment options with Palm RDC.
Auto Replenishment uses unique identifiers to tie individual products to customers. It is not necessary to define customers on the Palm device. When Palm RDC encounters an auto-replenishment number, it immediately knows the following information:
Customer name.
Product description.
Product number.
Product location at customer site.
Minimum and maximum stocking levels.
Purchase order number, release number, and break point code.
Print override instructions.
Palm RDC separates products on orders according to their respective customer, purchase order number, release number, and break point combination.
Normal replenishment uses customer/vendor product numbers to tie individual products to customers or vendors. You must define individual customers on the Palm device. When Palm RDC encounters a customer/vendor product number, it immediately knows the following information:
Product description.
Product number.
Product location at the customer's location.
Minimum and maximum stocking levels.
