    For high turnover liquor departments, the load should be accepted and posted when received. If you don't, you will get ongoing negative counts. 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...

    Garbage, Supermarkets are range from POG so if you are ranged for a product you should have it. If you don't, its a stuff up somewhere along the line Forget CASS, yes it tells us that its ranged to who but thats the extent of 'reporting' it does. We use a tool called discoverer that is a data...

    More Rubbish, the prices are set by the B & M Business Manager after several calculations, they are not just plucked out of a hat. These "variations between prices between stores based on what Financial Fine Department you come under" is not the way it is. Each stores department is set to a...

    Rubbish, its for one thing only, to make the product sound cheaper. this will be gone within the year when we go for fixed pricing. i.e. $11 not 10.99. It looks much better on printed tickets anyway

    We use ISIS in both BWS and Dan Murphy's. Its a great program. Forget 5 years to replace CASS, promotions and produce are the first to go over, the rest will be a while after that. dates have already been pushed twice. expect a lot longer than 5 years and god knows when Big W will roll over...

    yep, as mentioned Optus(2g). has been a LONG time in the making, was due late last year but complications with our systems slowed it down. basically the same as the crazy johns setup. Virtual service provider(known as a "white" provider and you get billed by everyday mobile, tied into all the...

    As of today, the norwest stores have been officially renamed. 1. "Support Office - Norwest" (staff store) 2. "Norwest CircaRetail Supermarket" (the old Norbrik site) This was sent via email to support staff at Norwest and I assume supermarkets to remove the confusion. Crazy idea to not...

    hu? I go past the new supermarket everyday on the way to norwest and the place looks very flash, there are the new woolworths signs plastered everywhere(it does look good). The "norbrik" word was used in several job advertisements for the store but they then started to use the Norwest name...

    Hi mate, The reason why we do this is to not just protect you but to protect our business as well. If you have an existing 'injury', then return to work and it is aggravated it is then considered to be a work related injury/workers compensation. A return to work certificate is required to...

    FYI, you will also need a return to work certificate regardless if your doctors certificate states that it only covers until next week. As per return to work policy you will need this certificate to certify that you are fit and well to return to work on full duties(or modified ones). without...

    Nothing wrong with it, not only does it improve flow between grape varieties and price point but it now has sav blanc at the start of the isle where it should be reflecting its higher sales compared to chard. Stand at the front of the isle, close your eyes and picture sav blanc, -->sav blanc...
