So, we've all been having trouble pulling our POG batches and salesplan batches to fill our aisles and endcaps ever since the switch to mywork 2.0. I've seen multiple posts here, on Facebook, and peers at other stores discuss how they've had to drop batches 2 even 3 times to get what they need, and after all that have to even drop EXF batches to finish out what they need. While discussing solutions with my leaders recently, we noticed a minor difference in the pull choices that majorly affects how limited we are with requesting merchandise and how efficient and effective we can be with out time. It's specifically the "Sales Floor Capacity" batch.
When we used the "sales floor capacity" prior to the switch, it pulled merchandise as if you had absolutely nothing on the floor. It pulled the sales floor capacity! It essentially purged absolutely everything, and honestly that was incredibly useful. It was an easy way to, for instance, pull absolutely ALL of the baby food out of the backroom to properly FEFO and check dates on all the merchandise you had in the store. Potentially, if you had a light endcap, you could pull all of the merchandise for the endcap and flex over your outs and maintain presentation for the company space planograms. It worked as a checks and balances for the people making mistakes ahead of you. It does not work the same now.
The way "sales floor capacity" works now seems to be just about the exact same as fill for depth. My picture shows why. It says "pull all items TO capacity". This is dramatically different than what it was previously. If someone burned a bunch of pulls from the backroom and just re-stowed the product at any time before you dropped your batch, sales floor capacity batches immediately become far less accurate. It is only as accurate as the sales floor counts are, and we all know how dramatically bad those can be. I guess my question is, does anyone know why the switch to this less efficient option was made, and/or if there is any way to formally request that we can get a 'purge all active product' pull option for pogs on the mydevice? Because I frequently find myself wanting more stuff from the back. Any insight would be helpful!
