[QUOTE="Will Work For PAS, post: 163185"] There are a couple reasons for this: 1) The PDS made some changes to the route but didn't recalculate the shelves. A new version is coming out mid 2007 that will automatically recalculate shelves when changes are made. 2) The PDS messed up and didn't assign a bulk stop to the floor. During the preload this is caught and an add/cut is done to move the bulk stop to the floor. The shelf balance doesn't recalculate once the preload is started so you will have an empty shelf where the bulk stop was. Bulk stops need to be carefully controlled by PDS's because the system doesn't tell the PDS if they reassign a bulk stop to a shelf when they're modifying a plan. PDS's need a checklist of items they run through upon completing a plan for a day. If you're seeing a bulk stop on a shelf then the PDS missed it regardless of what they tell you. 3) Add/cuts made during the preload (designated by an A in the box ) will cause this because the shelf balance doesn't recalculate when add/cuts are made. The fix - PDS's must build better dispatch plans and minimize the add/cuts made during the preload. 4) Any time you see an A in the box on the HIN label you can be assured that it is throwing your load out of balance. It's probably throwing two loads off - the one the package was cut from and the one the package was added to. I'm a believer in PAS - the system puts the packages where the PDS's tell it. The problem is that we have many overwhelmed PDS's that aren't skilled enough to be in their positions or they don't have time to plan properly. [/QUOTE]
