Anyone else doing the pack down lists that DS scan during the day on the downstock app? I work in hardware we had 20 irps this morning 40 in the downstock app that was complete. Why 70 holes today in just that short amount of time? Managers are really pushing this new app hard everyday usually about 70 to 100 holes. Half the hokes they scan is just stuff that needs to be pulled forward. Is this just another way for managment to get rid of people? Is this corporate mandated or store only?

Open holes mean lost sales, so if we have it in stock they want it on the shelf for people to buy. Plus less time going to get a ladder to get something down for a customer that is not on the the shelf. The scanning accuracy is only as good of the scannner, stuff that only needs pulled forward really should not be scanned.
I see a lot of manipulation of numbers, they are looking for blame. Anyone who has been there for any time at all better watch your back. You're making too much, you're the next target. Look at the SSA office, mostly tenured, over 50% got the axle in the year or so they've been in existence. Dept mgr is not safe unless you're lazy. The store managers are having others do much of what they are supposed to do. More Mgt heads need to roll.
At my store we have freight laying on the floor for up to a week before it gets put away. Too much of the daylight work being left for the closer.
If you open your Inventory app the bottom section said downstocking the top said IRPS. Instead of clicking Inventory Replenishment click the downstocking button. That is where everything is scanned each day at 3 o clock. They told us the closer is responsible for completing those and day shift does not have to downstock.
We’ve done some version of it in our store of and for a while, usually whenever IRPs start to get bloated. Someone scans IRPs in the morning For the openers and downstocking sheets around midday for the closers. We haven done them on the smart phones yet
