So, a tm told me that there will be a dedicated pricing and Plano team now.
The store was in e2e process and the tms were responsible for all aspects of their areas, however, now the pricing & Plano teams will strictly be responsible for those functions.
We've gone E2E on beauty, softlines, and consumables with electronics coming Q1. We had each team do their own price change for a week and it failed horribly so we brought back our two price change ladies. Although we've never lost our Plano team.
Is plano still doing transitions, revisions, and saleplans in your store if you are doing E2E? My store is doing is E2E and they expect consumables upon everything else to do all salesplans, revisions, and transitions. I thought we were only suppose to do salesplans personally, for consumables.
Weird, beauty isn't supposed to do their own price change. They shouldnt even call beauty end to end, they aren't even supposed to backstock.
Push truck, do rigs, fill and sell. Although they would be terribly bored if that's all they did

Sounds like your store is cheating the system. A-activate is supposed to be used when you honestly can not find the item. Now say you activate x amount of items this week and next week they are found and ticketed you just raised your rework number which affects your price accuracy score. By keying in the Dpci instead of a-activate you are keeping your “activate” number down. If someone is watching the numbers weekly they can see who is activating, how many price changes you’ve down, how many rework tickets you’ve done. I’ve seen others do this but I was always taught that it’s fine to activate as long as you have searched high and low for the item. If it’s an item with a large count we even get the LOD involved before activating.Pricing question? Why does 49 followed by the dpci has to be used to clean the system and using activate is not allowed?
The problem with this is if they pulled in batches the product was located in the BR. If guests were asking for it, and it was located there’s no reason that product couldn’t be found. Regardless it’s on store leaders to prevent this. TMs don’t have to answer for this stuff unless they want to promote. Not much you can do when leaders don’t find it importantPricing is so messed up at my store. We haven't done pricing for November and December. As things are being set the tls are salvaging merchandise from regular price to 0. Today the toys clearance batches were finally pulled. And what came out of there?! A whole pallet worth of salvage. It was merchandise that I know would have sold. A fourth of that pallet was LOL dolls. Guests were asking for those every day during the holiday.
