Why do the numbers change?

[a1flow]

We have been told to flex everything out. No problem with that. I then change the number to fit to what i put on shelf and also the amount on shelf number. Next I change the fit # back to what actually fits and leave the amt on shelf # the same. Then a truck or two later a case would come in and when i check the numbers the amount on shelf has changed to match the fit # even though the amount of product actually still on shelf is still more than the fit #. Hope that made sense. I understand that corp or dc might want to send more product but why or who changes the numbers?

Are you allowed to flex in areas that recently went through a reset? We aren’t and it’s hell.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Ask your tl for help.

Why would you flex in an area that recently reset?? That’s a no no . You audit and wait for the freight to come in.

Quite confusing . Where are you flexing ? And are you flexing right?

Cause they want no backstock. I can’t give them that without flexing the excess into current holes.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

At least, do a store tie.

I would stop adjusting the amount on shelf number. It doesn't matter if there's no backstock.

 

[allnew2]

If you don’t store tie what you are flexing you will keep getting the product pulled due to the system thinking it’s selling from the home location.

No no . Then your sfq counts will be all jacked

Revisions are notorious for resetting the capacity to the default. 4 fit? Nah actually 38492 fit.

And this is why we miss the Instocks Team.

 

[Noiinteam]

And those gray dots!

On a sidecap peg

One of the dumbest, least necessary things ever... and I actually knew what they were for.

Don’t forget the red dots.

No, I liked those gray dots although it was a bit of bother to remove them. They helped me keep track of what I've audited and if a spot had been empty for more than a short while.
But @Hardlinesmaster I don't remember red dots - ?

We were on such a great routine that it really wasn't necessary. It was actually a good idea when we first started. (Pilot store)

Red dots were used for clearance or d code.

And green dots. For flexxed shoes.

I agree they're not necessary if I can maintain a routine; but when I'm pulled to help in another area when that DBO is on vacation or there are a lot of revisions and/or sales planners to do, my routine gets off track.
