[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 978488, member: 31608"] I don't know if the data tool/PFT work off PAS/EDD or not; they may work off EPD - which you most certainly have; as far as I know, it's basically electronic shipping data from shippers (e.g. Amazon, blah blah), and it is what they use to plan the dispatch. Someone else who knows may be able to speak to the issue, but it may still bear fruit to at least raise the issue. Not to an incompetent supervisor, but to someone who actually gives a crap and will take the time to try it a couple times to get the hang of it; they are few and far between, but do exist. Never been to a Canadian UPS site obviously, but I'm pretty sure you have DMS; how many routes are on each belt/boxline? It almost doesn't matter, because the dispatch summary via DMS will list the routes and their UOW in a concise fashion. Now, there is something to be said that bulk stops will disguise themselves when you are only looking at UOW counts - that is to say, maybe volume is low, but the unusual bulk stop will make up for it, so the supervisor who is glancing at the piece count for their routes may see 380 or whatever and think "Ok, that is normal"; when, in reality, 15% of the normal stops are missing, but the bulk stop inflates UOW to make up for that missing percentage. That is what I call "phantom bulk." PFT is probably the most reliable bet; it's available under SharePoint, which is an insider UPS website devoted to various functional tools/reports designed to, theoretically, make life easier.
