System Summary:	The scanners are used to scan the load sheet number (from Phase I) as the load is received into the Finished Goods Warehouse. The product information for the load is retrieved from the database and issued to DcFlex for upload to the AS/400. On the AS/400 DCCONNECT provides the interface with System/21 and uses the System/21 published data entry routines. Once the transaction is collected on the scanner and the scanner is returned to the cradle, all processes to post the transaction into System/21 are automatic and require no user intervention.
