Retalon was turned off this week suddenly for fall ordering from vendors... ???

Retalon is so amazing it likes to compile huge amounts of orders and spit them out all at ounce completely overwhelming the ADC. Example is last week suddenly 100k books hit out of nowhere. Cant plan labor with surprises like that.
Another EPIC fail by DG and his team.
"they will be more closely monitoring it in the future." That's right folks, HO knows better than you do. That's why all y'all are on such a win streak. Keep up the good work! One day, you'll learn how dumb they think you are. Sheeple.
The large number of books that Retalon missed ordering is actually to your favor. Any book that was classified 102 in any store was excluded from Retalon ordering. This saved a big mess. The reason there were so many is that stores thought they could get away with classifying difficult to source books in 102 to keep the process to themselves, which is a genius idea, if it didn't cause so much work for everyone else. If you do this, watch out, they will be more closely monitoring it in the future.
yep; use that time wisely to repair the mistakes made by questionable ordering strategies. I know when I last made a bulk PO run the amount of text classified as Retalon covered that wasn't ordered was embarrassing.
Winning!
