So if a manager said to you that a special you had last week has not been received or scanned that would be strange right?

Pro tip if you can log in into more than one office on your PDA and you have forgotten to do a special the office you log into will get the blame.

So everything you scan will say delivered in the other office?

Not sure about that but happened to me last year that I missed a 1pm special, I had logged into my old office on the PDA as the current office wasn't on there and the office I have logged into got the blame.

Very unusual as they would have been allocated to your walk by your DO's SD locker person, technically you failed all of them
