Upon receipt of documents to be processed, a transmittal is generated with sender, recipient, transfer report, etc. This transmittal takes over control in PLM. This transmittal takes over the control in PLM.

After receiving the files to be processed, they are checked into DMS via DCI and linked to the transmittal. The audit documents are subject to the normal audit run for an external audit. When the review run is complete and all documents are certified, a new transmittal is generated for dispatch, with the sender and recipient now swapped. The advantage is that all incoming documents remain as a group and can be called up as a group in DMS.
