If no pre-distributions exist for the container, RWMS determines whether the container is to be sent to Quality Assurance (QA) or Vendor Audit (VA).

Initial detection of a PO/Item or PO/Style combination causes RWMS to apply the WIP code for First Carton Seen to the container and displays a message to the user. This WIP code is defined in the system parameters and is always the first WIP code to be processed. The QA, VA, or First Carton Seen WIP codes may all be applied to the same container.
