Enhancement to Electronic Meal Counts

We currently use DCW software for direct entry to capture point of service meal counts. It has been noted by PA Dept of Education that DCW does not meet the following two requirements (also highlighted yellow on page 2 of the Record Keeping Announcement).

• Include certification from the individual to the truth and accuracy of the information transmitted. The electronic system should include a statement that can be validated by the person entering the information indicating that all information entered is accurate.

• Confirm receipt of transaction by the recipient. In the case of a web-based system, the person entering the information should receive confirmation from the sponsoring organization to confirm that the information was received.
