Salutations!  

Until we can update all the references to Damaged, Claims Returned, Missing Content and MISSHOLD, here is a link to the July 29th ALL-WALS.  There you will find the New Winnefox Procedures and Flowcharts as well as the PIF and templates of the RBS and W&T stickers. 

Don't know what the PIF, RBS, or S&T stand for? Follow the link and find out! :-) 

As always: Please share with your staff!   
Make today a good day!
