Since the revision came in around a year and half ago (still no re-sign if you're curious ) we have a small number of HCT duties. These duties have not been issued with PDA's and as such are not expected to take SD's or Tracked. Recordeds are done on the old cards.
The specials for these are spread between some driving duties and the tracked are normally covered on OT - so far, so humdrum.
However, come Xmas pressure there has been a distinct lack of takers for the Tracked OT due to a large increase in items and people not having time to perform the OT. As a result of this the managers have decided that letterbox sized Tracked should be scanned as delivered while still in the office and then given to the HCT duties to deliver.

no it will not show as a failure as it will record the scan as a delivery, regardless of where the scan takes place, so even if scanned in as ready for delivery and then two seconds later as delivered then it will never show up as a failure, however........
a little email to moya wouldnt go a miss, as spacephoenix points out a GPS location is usually recorded so if someone were to check where the tracked items were scanned as delivered then DOM might be in the poo
We've done this for ages . When the tracks come in the letter box size ones are put to one side and scanned as delivered.
Only problem is if for some reason they can't be delivered and come back the phg has to remember not to scan as undelivered
as this will show up on the tracking report.

so why exactly are you faking the scans? what your doing could get you in trouble if you continue doing it and its found out
PHG's should refuse to scan them,walkers should refuse to take them,rep should be on the case,there are a lot of should's in this f***ing game.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
stop cutting corners, the package being small could easily fall out of your bag and get lost, when scanned as delivered, the opg would be for the chop.
OK then, what if certain areas , for one reason or another cant get a signal on there pda, and what if we have to scan there tracked as delivered while they are still in the office, ?????? :
I married my wife for her looks, but not the one she gave me when i said i was going to be a postman.

Unlikely that a whole delivery would be outside GPS/Mobile network. But if a single address/street area is then the PDA stores all relevant information and uploads it when it does get a strong enough signal.
At least thats what I was told by one of super rural drivers.

Absolutely correct the PDA has it's own memory and stores data until docked if it cannot upload.
We don't have enough PDAs in our office so some are scanned and others are put on paper to be scanned by PHG. If they are returns, it is easy enough to scan them as undelivered by the OPG but we don't want to be entering the tracking numbers ourselves; so PHG is not happy...
Manager's fault for not ordering enough PDA despite warning and complaints prior to xams period...
Unfortunately, we also do the short cut by scanning off the doorstep but this I do just before the partner sets off on his/her (yes) loop. So most are scanned regardless of size - still not right to scan away from doorstep and PHG agrees but he still was not happy to scan later.
Some scan as delivered and then scan as undelivered later??? The system should really not allow that
