Newbie PDA help please

Post by Rats_leeds »

Hi,

Can anyone help with a couple of questions I have regarding the PDA advice.. It has not been explained to me very well

Which items need to be scanned prior to delivery, I know tracked items do but do signed for and specials need this too?

Same question when returning an undelivered item... Which need to be scanned back into the office?

And lastly.... When the PDA is in the 'DO INDOOR' mode... How do I change it back to delivery? I could only figure this out by turning the whole device off and on again

Many thanks

As to which items need to be scanned prior to delivery it's everything with a 13 digit code comprised of 2 letters then 9 numbers then 2 letters as a country code. :thumbup
If a black circle shows up that means a signature is required. :thumbup

Rats,

there is a downloadable PDA instruction presentation/guide on the CWU site here: http://www.cwu.org/royal-mail-deliveries.html,
not sure if it answers your particular questions but it's worth a look.

Regards

Have a word with coach/rep/screws,or any other colleague in your office.
Shameful training.

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
