No for ex. Let's say I want to pull seasonal priorities. We currently backstock them in 3 different aisles (2, 3, 4) due to space constraints.

Aisle 2 (main seasonal aisle) gets so busy for SFS I want to only pull priorities for items located in aisle 3 or 4 for now. There's no option to do that without having to skip a bunch of items.
Okay, I am seeing what you mean. So in an ideal scenario, you would be able to tap into your worklist, like OPU is able to, and scroll down to the next aisle, and begin picking from the aisle that you want to pick from? Would that be a reasonable solution?

Just like how you can pull by salesfloor aisle, but it will be backroom aisle.
 
You can pull by sales floor aisle already. But setting up backroom aisles to mirror the salesfloor would be crazy. Every time there was an adjacency change for a major transition, you would have to change your backroom? That would make any sense. The fill groups are fine as is.
They generally stay pretty close. If they diverge too much, they'll change things up to match, but it's worked for us fairly well as far as I can tell.
 
Do you think it's a good idea to show the last few TMs who fulfilled a certain item for fulfillment? That way we can communicate to find the last known location or would that be a pain for those who now has to remember where they found it?

I don't think it would work in the long run. We can't even get our fulfillment TMs to call out for help when looking for an item now. Having a name won't make them any more likely to take the initiative to find what they're looking for.

Idk, I rather ask the last person who found it then a TL or random fullfillment TM about an INF and him/her telling to check the usual spots I already checked.
 
I can't even get Fulfillment to pick items that are on the shelf, in the correct location. 🙄
This. Just happened yesterday that a FF TM asked for help finding an item in my area. She was going by the picture. I very obviously noted what the location was and look at that! It's right there, in exactly the location it's supposed to be in.
Sure, sometimes things aren't located correctly, but at least try using that location information before seeking help from another TM. I had a huge pile of freight to push yesterday and while I generally think there's no such thing as a dumb question, this was one of those stupid moments that didn't need to happen.
 
It goes both ways, you scratch my back I scratch yours.

Honestly, when it comes to INF control, I rarely need or want my back scratched.* I just want to do my job without being interrupted to do someone else's in addition to mine, especially when my helping other people rewards their metrics at the expense of mine.

I might be able to stomach a "last found by..." feature if hitting that button and subsequently finding the item had a positive effect on the previous finder's metrics. Otherwise, I can't see it being anything except a punishment to those who do their job well.

*That's not even a brag: you don't get to be a Presentation veteran who has set every department in the store many, many times (even if it has been a minute since operational changes decreed certain departments Not Our Problem) and not know where things are supposed to be and where else they can end up. In all but .01% of the freakiest cases, if I can't find an item in my store after an exhaustive search, ain't nobody finding it.
