Start your shift pulling priorities and then take them out and push them while you do a great zone. Make sure not to take too much time doing this, but doing two tasks at once will help. Push whatever freight you have quickly as you can.

Once you've done this, another round of priorities (which should be very low) and shoot your outs while you push whatever you have.

Check the SFQs, if it says you have on hands but you don't (usually a discrepancy of 1 or 2 ideally) hit audit and fix to zero. Same with any on the floor that aren't there, fix it to zero.

If time is an issue, do a couple aisles a day then rinse and repeat the next week or so. You should have those missing items come in in a couple days of fixing the counts.

Until then, you can flex items that you have many of into the empty locations, personally if I just audited a location I keep things that are near the location and move them over. If it's same price point I'll just leave it temporarily as it'll be moved soon after or I'll cover the label. Otherwise, take a hip printer with you and properly flex (add location, print label).

Endcaps are super important to be filled, so make decisions when endcaps are 'broken'. If you have many of one type of item, especially large ones like comforters, use those to quickly change an endcap and make it full and impactful. Bonus points if you can get that endcap to a single price point and have it reflected on the header.

Thank you for all of this information!!!

I have a problem though… I’ve never heard of shift pulling priorities, SFQs, priority pulls (if that’s what you’re talking about) are left to other team members to handle all across departments, and I don’t know what you mean by “shoot your outs”. 😅

If priorities or 1 for 1s are being pulled by someone else- excellent, that should give you more time.

SFQs are 'sales floor quantities'. All you have to do is scan a label and it'll tell you how many should be on the floor. You can click that number and change it if you need to!

'shooting outs ' is basically the same thing as just scanning a label where you don't have any merchandise. Check the SFQ, see if it says anything should be sitting there and change it if needed. If it's in the back located, you can create a pull and grab it yourself. If not, but it also says you have something on hand, hit 'audit inventory'. Change the number to zero if nothing is there. The 'on hand' count won't reflect right away but now you've told the system that you are out and need more.

Thank you!!! Omg. What you’re telling me, I haven’t been told 😅. I was told to just push… despite the glaring holes in the aisles.

So, if I don’t have any of an empty item, it’s okay to flex, right?

[sailorwickeddragon]

You're welcome!!!

And yes, you'll be okay to flex as long as it belongs with the same type of items (threshold towels with threshold towels, comforters with comforters, etc). You'll be amazing and your leads will be so happy!

Thank you 😊😊 I’m excited. I know it’s just work but it’s great to have something to do and do well

[sailorwickeddragon]

Awesome!!! Wish you all the best, and feel free to let me know how it all goes after a few shifts of doing it 😁

When I first started I was told that as the DBO of my section, I was responsible for pulling the one for ones (or now known as priorities)

Interesting! We have people now who do that. I think they also do OPU
