That is not best practice anymore that was best practice at stores that had a dc sort the repacks by aisles. It was slightly better but not really. Definitely wasn't worth the money it cost to have the dc do it, and im assuming thats the reason it was reverted back. Best practice has all repacks being sorted out during unload, but depends on how well the stores want to sort them. Most stores just sort by department but we sort by valley in my store for otc and hba

Not sure we get enough to make it worth sorting by valley? (We're not a high-volume store.) I do get a pile of repacks, more for OTC than Pers Care, and maybe it makes a difference how a store's aisles are situated, but I don't know that this would help. A repack will hold items for aisles that aren't even next to each other.
I used to sort all the HBA repacks, including what's now Beauty, and I don't recall them ever being sorted better by the DC. There for a while, Stationery and HBA regularly saw things come mixed up in each other's repacks, glad that doesn't happen anymore. Since I've been doing just OTC & Pers Care, which has been for a few years, it's been the same. Well, except for taking "20" from Oral Care and giving it to Style. Now toothbrushes etc. come in the "21" boxes along with pain meds and cough & cold.

Editing to say that I don't think I understood your post. Do you sort the repacks in the back room during or after unload and put product into 3-tier carts? Then push from the carts?
I can see how sorting by valley would work that way; it's similar to how I used to use shopping carts way back before we even had 3-tier carts and u-boats. Not sure we have enough 3-tiers for all the repacks to be sorted into, plus have some left for Fulfillment to use. (They use them because we don't have enough of their special carts.)

We don't sort repacks out on the line, as it's a major waste of time for our unload process. OTC, HBA and Cosmetics repacks can all have products for each of those departments sorted into those repacks from the DC, so we just have the pushers sort the items out and deliver to the appropriate department.

Our goal time to unload each truck is 1 hour, sometimes we're under, sometimes we're over, depending on how good or how crap the DC decides they want to pack the truck. We like to submit Load Quality chatbots for the terrible ones.

1 hour for your unload!? That's unattainable! Are you a small format store?

I asked my ETL today about where to find that documentation again and they said it was in a Communication when they made the changes to add stocking times to MPM. I do remember them reading it to me during a floor walk. Neither of us had any idea about how to access past Communications, or if it's even possible.

We both dug through Workday and couldn't find anything at this time, so, yeah.

Does anyone know if past Communications can be accessed, and if so, how? I would hope it could have made it to Workday by now, but if it has, our searchfu wasn't very good.

The information is in Inbound Trailer Dashboard under the "help" tab. It's been there for years but no one clicks that tab. The updated communication was mainly about stocking time being added to MPM. How they come up with the stocking times hasn't changed in a while.
