Operator begins when they receive an EOD (End of day) or POD (Proof of delivery) manifest from the trucker - Jewels for the previous days deliveries.
The operator will double check the manifest against TMS & make any corrections required to either one (the manifest or the TMS system). Then the operator will update the CT records to reflect this information. Once all is updated and approved, they will send the approval back to Jewels and Jewels will send an email reply again listing all of the CT records.
