Our alerts are a little... iffy. Sometimes the LPDA and iPod I carry will go off at the same, sometimes right after one another, sometimes one won't even go off. And meal compliance and work past shift won't even go off on my iPod, but it does on the LPDA. Idk what's going on. And we still don't get notification for REDcard applications on either device.
SUBT comes in January. (similar to how there's an "add" button on the main screen, there will be a "take" button on the item details page where you can see stockroom location). And, your hunch about PULL is accurate
Not yet... I think in all honesty logistics will need an overhaul anyway. It is timed well because most stores are half ipods half pdas right now anyway, so logistics can use pdas and everybody else can use ipods right now. Once they get everything over and the apps designed a bit better (the PULL functions) then I can see the transition taking place.
As of right now, you go into your "profile" button and you can switch your role in a sense. When you switch to Pricing it changes the buttons, or Research it changes it to Update Counts. I am assuming that Target will have a "Backroom" button that switches Item Search to a pulling function. Generally a black bar will open across the bottom of your screen, and I am guessing it will say something like "Now Pulling GRC3" and then list a location. You'll scan the location first and then the black bar will switch to "Pull XXX-XX-XXXX Product Description and Quantity" and you will have to scan it. Your Item Search can then switch to the item and instead of saying "Fill from Stockroom" it will say "Pull this Item" and you will hit it and enter the Quantity to match. Just a guess
but, it's more than a few months away in development cuz you're right... logistics is ready for an overhaul.
That red exclamation point really shouldn't come up too often. If it's happening frequently, call the CSC. That said, if/when the exclamation point comes up, price changes still go through OK. Meaning, if you continue scanning labels (but be sure to wait for the little triple beep), the price will still activate. That black box at the bottom just acts as a "next suggested turn" and the red exclamation point doesn't imply that price change isn't working, it just means the iPod can't figure out which item to send you to next.
Not sure if official communication has come out yet or not... but the scan detail (OUTS) report will be changing. Because of how myWork doesn't have an official "OUTS" function, the report won't show scans of items that are truly out of stock. That's ok. Something else will be coming. But for now, it's OK to keep using the iPods and let the report look bad.
Guess I can't blame lods for not carrying iPod and PDA. They should ask me if I'm picking though, not telling me there's a pick.
I think would be pretty close if not accurate description. I can't wait until Jan. When it happens. Carrying two devices, not fun.

They may not know there's a lag time.
That might be the case. I'm honestly not sure.
It sounds right, or at least the way the PDA apps worked, they work in a similar way. OUTs pull the difference or all if the spot is empty, and EXF (Get More) you enter how much you want in the spot. I keep forgetting everything is streamlined into one app, so every time I think of EXF or OUT the PDA icons pop into my head. I don't know about anyone else's store, but ours are just about terrified to use them. Pricing still uses the PDAs, POG still uses the PDAs except for me, one of our TMs simply hates them and thinks they are useless, she doesn't like change and b****** about anything and everything if it doesn't go her way. And we get the rest of ours this Thursday, so they might as well get used to them, because come February, say goodbye to the PDAs...
