For high turnover liquor departments, the load should be accepted and posted when received. If you don't, you will get ongoing negative counts.When you post the load you are accepting the load into the system that day and your stock counts will be available in the system straight away. If you don't post the load it will download into the system over night and your stock counts will be in the system the next day.
All loads get received but the posting is dependent on what it is - e.g. The rule of thumb is to post the produce, meat, freezer and perishable loads that day. Longlife, Sydney and/or Melbourne get received but not posted (goes into system overnight).
Cigarettes get posted that day also but need to be scanned individually on the RF gun...pain in the arse!
And why do we have to do it that way? I think it has something to do with claims.
I.e. SOH =1, you receive a carton of wine(6) so your SOH is now 7 and if a customer buys 2 bottles and you have not posted the load it will be -1.
A DM/2IC in liquor should NOT have any negatives if on top of their department routine.
