When I took over receiving we needed to make sure everything was scanned to the pallet ids. The price changes and returns/damages from guest services were collected into batches that we scanned onto the pallet. Individual defectives from other places had to be individually scanned onto the pallet ids. When they got rid of the PDAs, that process went away. I wanna say that was 6ish years ago.
My store isn't doing the new pilot, but if I'm remembering it correctly then boxes will be filled with the salvage/crc from guest services and price change. Then the receiver will have to go through the boxes and scan every individual item to the pallet id and repackage them. If this is the case it is gonna be miserable. They better give me 40 hours every week for the entire year if this rolls out.
