The Price Verification Tool allows any user of the CMSC software to input an order string and have the system return a price. This tool is named the Order String Decoder. This tool can be used in one of three ways.
1.Input an order string code one at a time directly into the interface.
2.Select an existing order and process all the line items contained in the order.
3.Upload a CSV (comma separated values) file to the system.
Options 2 and 3 also allow the user to download a CSV file that can be opened in Excel or any program that supports CSV files for further processing.
