Is there a way to increase the order for a certain aisle using CAO or Citrix? I thought I heard someone mention it before but not sure. Like, if we want the condiment aisle to be 95% full, just enter one screen and everything will order itself to keep the aisle 95% full?
You can do it with ISO. Go to part where is says 1. upload order 2 order review..........about 7 or 8 it will say increase decrease order. I do the smoked meat order so I will be increasing the hotdogs/smoked sausage part of it 25-35% for next Saturday and Sunday. Just be careful not to go too crazy with it.
adjust the min that will have cao order it more/less like say min is 2 cao would order when balance is 2 so upping the min to 4 or so would have cao order it sooner.
or when you edit view your orders you can add from that. or from the hand held in order review mode you can scan it and using funct 2 add/take off items. can also be done in item mant.

I know how to do that. Supposedly we want the MDS # from F6 to be near 3 for our store. We have one aisle with a huge amount of backstock each order. The aisle is mostly peyton. Yes, the products sell fast but cao is over forecasting. The backstock is constantly bloated. If the shelf is low/empty, the day manager has to order it because he only has 4 orders a week.
I have heard there is a way to increase/decrease how the aisle orders just by inputting a single percentage on one screen.
I do not trust the minimum telling cao when to order. I have seen many times where the min is 6, boh is 3(for a few days) and the computer isn't ordering anything.
Also, I swear on certain days, cao is ordering to fill the Allocation and ignoring the minimum. When, we get a reset, the allocations do not always get set correctly. Let's say the Allocation was 80, min was 60(10 packs). The space was cut in half. The allocation is now 40, min set at 20. The allocation is still set at 80 but minimum was reset to 20. The boh is 30. The computer will send 5 cases just to fill the old allocation.

CAO filling the allocation regardless of minimum is something called "order leveling" When you go in ISP to review your order you'll see a * next to any items that have been effected by it. You can also pull up the order leveling report through the reports part of ISP to give a list of those items. The main ones that get effected are high volume items. So big ones are hostess, Big K's, water, etc.
