What to Expect

The bin labeled "Techmer PM Need Repair" contains all devices that have been successfully evaluated and are now ready to be sent to the repair facility. You will begin in the Zebra portal by verifying each device's warranty and creating a repair order for all in-warranty items. The critical next step is the cart review, where you will separate any off-contract devices for special handling in the REX system. Finally, you will submit the standard repair order to generate the necessary shipping labels and prepare the physical shipment, ensuring all devices are correctly documented and tracked.

Proceed to the "REX RMA Lookup" section
