Order Inquiry by Entry Date RLM System

Page 2 What is Order Inquiry? Customer Orders that arrive in RLM (either via EDI or Data Entry) can be viewed using the Order Inquiry function However, certain accounts like JC Penney send many unique PO numbers, making it difficult to tally the total amount ordered for a given period The Order Inquiry by Entry Date relies on the fact that these orders come in on specific days of the week to provide a count of ordered units and their status in the fulfillment process.
