Can someone explain the rf scanner?
Permalink   


I work as an overnight grocery clerk stocking merchandise. I'm fairly new. The rf scanner was explained to me once, but I didn't have the best teacher.

Can a kind soul please explain how to use it?

 

I stock all the products on the pallets and we are instructed to leave product that does not fit onto the shelf onto the floor to scan.

 

When do you add/subtract the left over product? When do you change the BOH and allocation?

 

 

Thank you!

Search forum.  There are a few good posts that go into detail but I am not able to find them at the moment.

In theory, you are supposed to run the active backstock uboat before stocking the live stock(truck(s) that just got delivered).

Run live stock.  Leave extra on floor so you can scan it before putting it away.

You log into the telxon, select 1. cao, 1. inventory management, 1.then residual scan.

Make sure the order has been received in cao.  We manually un receive the order when we are doing the next order.  It saves us a lot of time.

Make sure you know what is on the end caps, on shippers, and in shadow boxes.

Generally, we change numbers up but not down.  If you see 24 on the shelf and you have 12 left over, the BOH should be 36.  You should not need to change the Allocation too often.  Usually when there is a reset.  Definitely double check the Allocation while scanning backstock.

BOH is how many are in the store.  Allocation is how many will fit neatly on the shelf without rolling cans or forcing product to fit.

Only change numbers down if you are absolutely certain the product is not in the building.

Ask any questions you have.  There are several posters experienced with night grocery and using cao.  We all learned from people with more time than us and hands on.  The training video didn't help too much.

Ps.  You will never win with catfood cans, Ice(the drink), and soup cans.  The BOHs will never be correct.  ever.  You can change numbers to be close every once in a while but don't bother being exact for those items.

Customers will grab 2 dozen of a variety of flavors but cashiers will only ring up one flavor.  The one that gets rung up is the one that will have 24 sold from the boh.

Oh, and don't spend too much time counting. If the shelf has high allocation of something like tuna, just estimate. If it's off by a couple that's less damaging than spending 10 minutes scanning one item. There's no time allotted for that. However, on low allocation items, be sure to be accurate. The difference between 2 and 3 can mean the difference between the product coming in on your weekend load or not and being out of stock all weekend.
