[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 958642, member: 31608"] Late, six-month after-the-fact follow up answer, in case someone else stumbles upon this thread and wonders the answer. The application I was asking about is the the PMD tool, which can be downloaded onto any UPS box via SharePoint, generally accessible from the 'Inside UPS' website (default homepage for internal UPS computers, I believe); select your region, district, etc; from there, under the PDS tab, there is a 'Preload tools' tab, or something similar; you can download the PMD tool from there. The trick is that the tool can only run on full PDS workstations, not just any old computer; if the workstation doesn't have the full Office suite installed then it will not run (you can tell by checking Start->Programs, and looking for "Office Viewers"). From there, you enter the sort date, building mnemonic, and you can get PAS data, which pulls scancheck data from the building servers, and will compare any scans to the dispatch plan to detect any misloads. Sounds great; practically speaking, however, it generally requires every loader to have a terminal/scanner on one car (presumably, the one they misload in most frequently), which slows them down and can affect PPH, for both the loader and, by extrapolation, the sort. On the flip side, it enables the supervisors to actually get some tangible benefit out of doing scan checks. Note: If you are getting errors about "overflow" errors or something similar, then the workstation you are trying to run it on is not a full PDS workstation; try it on your sort managers workstation.
