  2. An office administrator will create the case in the property management database, entering the defendant’s name, date, time, Agent/Inspector, and quantity of each product type as soon as possible after receiving receipt. After the case is created in the database, the property manager will enter detailed information for each case to include location, quantity, size, item description and whether alcohol is open or sealed.
