Is anyone else experiencing a ridiculous amount of "extra" ? What exactly causes extras?
Why would it not update if it came off the truck? Once it's received our OH are updated.I believe extras are a combination of product that just came off the truck and isn't yet logged into the system and the product you missed the previous week suddenly popping up on the radar so to speak. And of course Xtras don't count toward your score. If they did we'd nail it every time.
I thought the salvage issue was fixed.Salvage and orders staged for SFS prior to the RFID list populating will cause extras as well. The most basic way of defining extras is items that system didn't think would be in your store. The problem with scanning salvage and SFS merchandise is that the system will think those items should be in your store the next time you do the scan, which they won't be, making it that much more difficult to achieve your goal.

This week sucked. Over 9K extras and I couldn't even get 92% after scanning for a full shift. I climbed ladders, I turned product around till the gun was pointing right at the barcode, and I even got on the floor on my knees to go through every single rug we own by hand to hit the barcode with the gun. I'm so done with this crap. To do the same exact things over and over and over again and have different results all the time and to never know when you actually hit 98% is absolutely maddening. My leadership could care less right now as they have bigger things on their plate to worry about in Q4 than RFID.
I might be late on this since I don't really own the scan anymore, but there's now an encode function on the zebra mydevices.
Ohh that'll be nice!As well as beeping when locating... Still no beeping when doing the scan itself -_-
Oh good, maybe I won't get run over by the Wave again because I was walking in the BR while staring at the Zebra screen trying to find an adult onesie.As well as beeping when locating... Still no beeping when doing the scan itself -_-
I feel like RFID is something someone put a whole lot of time & money into, and even though it's not working well, we'll keep at it rather than admit failure. Maybe it's still an improvement over the old method of scanning every hardlines aisle in research, and relying mostly on softlines to research their whole dept weekly? I know it saves a ton of labor cost.
Having trouble being green on RFID metrics? Worry not, my friends! Kid's accessories are being added to the scan, and I'm sure everyone will love hunting those down where the little snot-nosed brats decide to ditch them!
Edit: I probably misread the communication, looks like they are just switching department numbers. Just frustrated because the entire process is so broken and the only thing Target can think to do is mess with something that doesn't even address the problem.
I've had several frustrating issues using locate when I key in the DPCI and it says the item is not RFID enabled...but I can be looking at the tag for that very item and it has the EPC logo. I bet that has something to do with the wonky counts too.Well, if these scans adjusted counts you would probably be right but from what I hear they don't do that. Also, the tags sometimes fail to work. We actually had a gun pointed at an RFID tagged pair of pants and the scanner couldn't "find" it. So while I do see a future for this if they an make it work effectively 100% of the time and actually adjusted counts based on what the gun was telling them so that instocks would be taken care of, it's not really happening now.
