Setting transition. Best to update SFQ before pulling batch or after pulling and pushing?

Title. IMO, doing after will result in a more accurate count, but doing it before will mean possibly pulling less backstock.. What do you guys/girls think???

I'm leaning towards after.

With setting, I usually update Capacity before I pull and if it looks really off I will do SFQ too. If not, I'll check it afterwards.

I usually do it after. Sometimes I don't know how much product will fit until I actually have it in my hands.

However, I have one POG that has crazy Capacities/SFQ's. Those are adjusted before the pull.

I do it before and, unless it is really ugly, let it pull in the next day one for ones. I update Capacity, then audit.

Video games & shippers are the worse on counts.

30 fit here.... only 10 actually do

Definitely update capacity before pulling.

Sadly though fixing the capacities and SFQ while the pull was already made doesn't delete the item from the pull. 🥺

Are you sure? Because I have created a pull before, then updated SFQ/SFC and watched the pull get smaller as I went along. But that was in MyWork though so maybe that's the difference?

Definitely. With the TV wall we set all the floor TVs to 0 so we can flex whatever ones we actually have at the time. The new POG reset the capacities and they all started pulling. When I noticed I went through and changed them back to 0, but alas they were still in the batch and I had to go through and burn about 10 of them.

Sometimes, I feel like a can't win on this question. I do like to pull the product first so I have it while making adjustments for what fits where.

Usually end up adjusting capacity after I find out what really fits. Last sales planner I did had crazy capacities (90 when it was really only 18) but we didn't have anywhere near that much product, so I didn't end up with a boat load of back stock.
