On the pick label, there can be a few "indicators" that dictate what to do with the product. On the label, it will be near the "Ad 08/21" in the example. If there is a "P", it means it needs to be pushed out. If there is an "S", it means stage. "B" means it's backstock...and part of the backrooms metrics is making sure that all product that has a "B" indicator gets backstocked. Otherwise your team is being inefficient and taking stuff out to the floor when they don't have to. If your store is a "Push All" store, this is how you tell the difference between what you need to take to the floor and what stays in the back without scanning everything on the line.
With the change to myPerformance though, it could be that this isn't a key metric anymore. I haven't dived into the backroom metrics with myPerformance.
Typically your NOP product will have some kind of info on the pick label that will give you a bit of insight on what's going on with it. If it's on AD, it could be there will be staged off area on the floor...or it could be that the planogram isn't in the system yet, so there will be a T indicator(Transition) with the date letting you know when it will be set. But if it's NOP or D-Code at this point, been in your store for awhile, and it looks like there will be no space or planogram for it in the foreseeable future...mySupport it, and request a CLR markdown on it.

I've noticed the term "pedistro" too. Not sure what it means. Anyone know?

It might be helpful if either of you could post a picture of the label. Seeing the location of the word pedistro on the label might be the clue needed.

Predistro means that the box was prepared for your store outside of the dc at the manufactures facility. It was just sent to the dc to be sent to your store. You usually see this in cosmetics. The boxes are typically assortment boxes and need to be pushed. The product should not be backstocked right off the truck.

The word 'predistro' is usually where the ad date is, and the carton designation is labeled as 'predistro flow'. They're a pain in the ass for us at the DC, as many of the predistro's need to be audited, which means opening it up and scanning every UPC. Some of those cosmetics ones with 50+ UPCs sometimes makes me wanna cry...

What do the different carton designations mean? Obviously NONCONVEYABLE FLOW means NONCONVEYABLE, but things like HV CONV CA, HV CONVEYABLE, BREAKPACK, and the difference between something with "FLOW" at the end and not (CONVEYABLE and CONVEYABLE FLOW) confuse me at times.

They're all related to how they're handled at the DC, there's a bunch of them, so here it goes [cracks knuckles]:
-Anything 'Flow' means it goes straight from being received to being loaded on an outbound trailer. Everything else comes from warehouse reserve (similar to store-side backstock)
-Conveyable means it can ride on our conveyors. Non-conveyable can't due to various reasons; too long, weird shape, bagged goods, easily damaged, too small, etc.
-Teamlift is a special designation for noncon that's over 60 lbs in weight.
-HV (High Velocity) is also known as priority. Means that once we get the label drops for those, it take precedent to get it out to the store.
-Breakpack is a label you guys really shouldn't see, but it's for the cartons that get opened to fill the repacks.
-PIPO is pallet in, pallet out. Full pallets that are left intact from vendor to store.
-FPS, I can't remember what it stands for, but are full pallets of conveyable that are normally broken down at depal, but since it all goes to one store, they just send as an FPS pallet instead.
-Non-Merch is your ISM, fixtures and store order stuff. Top priority above everything else, as it has a deadline of 8 hrs from being received to being loaded in outbound.
-Audit, another one you shouldn't see, but it means that we at the DC need to scan the UPCs to verify quantities, inner counts, UPC/DPCI, etc.
I think that's all of them. As for the stuff in the upper left portion of the label, where it say '580 conv ca' in HLM's post up top, is for labels coming from those picking in warehouse. The number is your DC#, the next designation is where it's conveyable or non-con, and the next designation is whether a guy in an order picker got it (cartonnaire CA) or it came from a full pallet (FP) pulled by a reach truck and broken down in depal. Hope that helps.

It definitely helps, I originally thought HV meant "High Value" and "Teamlift" meant "Use both arms and strategic placement of the vehicle"
I laughed when my mom bought some leggings that had a breakpack label stuck to it, and since then have taken to stomping on any regular cardboard that says "breakpack" on there because it says to break the pack, for anger management.
