Scanning for DPR

[Rve83ndxd]

In the morning in the DO we spend up to 1.5 hours scanning all the packets for the DPR. We have been told that it is just so the managers have an accurate count.

Just wondering if the DPR drivers scan the packets again and if they get any additional info we enter like the correct address.

How many of you spend 1.5 hours just scanning parcels, as this seems a total waste of resources?

[Hitcher]

Yes, we scan them when using the van loading guide. This tells us what zone to put them in along with the delivery order number and at the end of loading it also shows us any items we didn't scan ie miss-sorted to another DPR.

This scan puts them in the system as having arrived at the DO along with telling the sorter which DPR cage they're allocated to.

10 people. Does if it is only for a count that the MC should already know.

Do you get any corrections we enter

Isn't it a count for each DPR route?

We scan them to DPR routes in the morning, ready for the DPR drivers

As the MC has already scanned the parcels they should know the count already

Needed for full tracking, separating into DPR cages, and so managers can adjust/send off routes to the PDA.

Whatever you input as the address is what we see on the PDA.

This is also a problem when someone can't be bothered to input the correct address and we pull up outside and can't find the packet!
