MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

[CaptJBird]

Our pogs are probably different. My double ups are just the ribbons and the tissue paper. Our bags are still going to have their own peg. Nice

I didn't look at it yet. I was surprised by how many hours it was calling for with it being a revision without a ton of adds.

It makes no sense to pre tie but it would be so much nicer to print all the labels at once. Instead of after each tied location. Especially when setting a million side caps.

I agree. In order to print the sidecap labels, I have to pre-tie it to a random unused location. Then it lets me create a batch to print. Then I untie the pre-tie and do the same for the next sidecap. Then I print all my batches and I have all my labels ready to go when I'm ready to set. You just have to remember to do this before the week they're due otherwise it's too late to pre-tie. Annoying but it works.

Anyone else get incorrect labels this week? The box we have for next week has all the labels for this week for the stuff we did already..

I mysupported this and they just have not answered me.. sounds about right lol

I guess I need to submit one for each POG I want printed... Doing the sporting goods transition without the labels sucked - Especially since ours is a reverse aisle.

I just got myself a hip printer and printed all of them as I was setting. I don’t got time for this nonsense.

I haven’t taken a look at the pogs yet but I’m wondering if the fixtures you’re talking about are similar to the waterfall fixtures style uses. To support two dpcis on the pegs. 🤔 I really need to look into that. We set it on Thursday

Those crossed my mind, too, but the fixture listing only listed the 9in scanning peg hooks. I literally winged the whole revision and gave everything its own peg. None of the new stuff that didn’t scan NOF was OH or OTW so it doesn’t look crammed… for now. I suspect another revision in less than a month to fix it.

This. I created and consecrated Aisle BS99 for this purpose. 😉

Anyone else a test store for removing displays in kitchen? I’m detecting out all the displays, ain’t no way we can keep them in the back.

CRC pallet here they come lol.

No but I wish we were.

 

[Alexbegt]

No but I wish we were.

They even got rid of them in vacuums too which I was surprised about.

I feel I like it better with no displays. More room for products especially with holidays coming up.

 

[FlowTeamChick]

It'll be interesting to see if not having displays leads to guests opening boxes to see what the thing looks like. (Like the pictures on the box aren't helpful, I guess.)

If this rolls out companywide in the next year or so, I'm going to call it right now that in 2030/2031 someone will come out with a great new way to increase sales of small appliances by adding displays in because "displays increase sales by 15-20%."

I've seen people open boxes even with the displays. "Let me check what's included!!" 😭

I set wrap yesterday and it was very confusing. I am wondering if there is a name change from Spritz to Bows and Sparkles, because some of the descriptions of the items are very similar. In the very least POG keeps my brain active.

I checked yesterday and the items are still NOF. So idk. I left a paragraph on the PPA so maybe someone will see it.

 

[Sisyphus]

Does anyone know what's up with all the 0 hour pogs this week and next?

 

[TargetMcFly]

I think there was communication on that. Nothing change, just tie to update old POG so it doesn't break.

You still have to update the SFC and SFQ. Otherwise it'll generate needless pulls. My boss found that out the hard way. Lol

 

[FlowTeamChick]

If this has been asked in this thread before, my apologies.

Does anyone know why we can't pre-tie revisions? There are some that are pretty extensive even though no shelves move, with lots of new product coming in. Sure would be helpful to have accurately printed pick labels on all those cases.

I don't understand why I can pre-tie transitions and end caps, but not revisions.

Or, am I missing something? Is there a work-around?

I think so because I saw googled it and it shows a Spritz image on google but opens to Bow and a Sparkles
But not on this site

Seems like the label strips for OTC and Personal Care are lining up better with the product for this last round of revisions. Not 100% perfect but a whole lot better than the last couple times. So glad to see an improvement with this. (Now that it's been mentioned, wait until next time! It'll be bonkers again.)

Has anyone reviewed their boxes of signing they got for trim a tree? We got 3 boxes to backer paper, with all 3 containing the same paper style. I see there is meant to be green and red so I’m hoping they didn’t mix up and give us too many boxes

We also got 3 boxes but I didn't open any of them up- just palletized all of the TAT ISM and had it shoved outside in pod out of the way for now. I thought 3 boxes seemed excessive though especially since they all were very heavy.

I noticed all of the labels also say the same thing: '1 of 2' or something like that.. if you do get a chance to ever look at them let me know if you got green paper or not. If not, it's just gonna be all red lol.


Since I know it'll be like end of christmas before it comes in if we order it.

 

[Puckpsyd]

Apologies if this has been brought up. I have called the CSC about it but got no solution. I have an in-aisle planogram that got untied because a salesplan was accidentally tied in its place. This is an issue because it means that Fills can't be generated for that POG and the Fulfillment team is all sorts of confused about it.

The problem is, the POG doesn't show up as overdue or discontinuing in Set Workload. Since it doesn't exist in Set Workload, there isn't any way to tie because they removed tying from the POG Detail screen. So WTF???
