A few weeks ago we had a cute thing happen -- 84 OBSOLETE RECALLS showed up on the CQ LINK ...wow ... well here is some more background
1) Most of these are OLD - they showed up again due to a change on the LINK shows them -- mainly to have Cdn recalls show properly (these 84 probably only showed up on the Cdn link - also they have started to CONSOLIDATE recalls - so the one you see with ONE part # will not happen again )
2) I checked a couple of random recalls and called the Toronto DC -- well - the customer service person didn't know how to see what the warehouse computer ( ADIS ) so I called a higher up -- these classifications where STILL IN as a 7 or 8 ....
3) I called one of the guys who classifies in Raleigh -- he assures me that the ADIS warehouse class ( movement code ) SHOULD BE changed to a ZERO before the notice goes out .... so what is happening -- we have a call into Peter McNally in Toronto to see
4) There is NO EASY WAY for the J-Con to automatically list new mvt code ZERO items ... I just heard a story of someone at a jobber store who manually entered every part # to see if it was in the system -- wow - that is a time waster of extraordinary proportions .... so I called J-Con help desk and got one of the smarted people .... he suggested running a 2-20 report for just items with mvt code ZERO ...
Our three stores get their data from 2-20 and run it thru EXCEL --- but remember we all get short circuited if the Toronto ADIS is not updated with the mvt code updates ....
stay tuned ....
*************** update ***************
I am ASSURED by Mike Deal from classifications that the mvt code is set to ZERO BEFORE the bulletin is released ... and that my problem is with staff at the Toronto DC who do NOT know how to look up the data in ADIS .... this is being addressed
so - long story made short -- run a 2-20 ( that you can save for future use ) to list stock on hand with ZERO as mvt codes --
hint -0 in our stores go thru and FORCE DELETE parts with ZERO as mvt code that have no on hands .... something that I think EXPLORIS can't do as they can;'t figure out how to delete parts from the system yet
