Procedure:
Tuesday, 12.12.2023
The lists with the SKUs to be removed will be distributed to the hubs via this newsletter (HERE)
Wednesday, 13.12.2023
Outbounding of all stocks of the SKUs on the list
Sale via TooGoodToGo
DEADLINE: EOD
Thursday, 14.12.2023
Clearing the shelves
All inactive SKUs are set to Shelf 99X
[Go-Live] Inbound Everything - Book in everything now 🛒
With the new 'Inbound Everything' initiative, it is possible to inbound all products, even from an incorrect delivery. Products SKUs not belonging to the hub are assigned to shelf 99X.
ToDo's ✅
Shelf 99X:
If you inbound a product that is assigned to shelf 99X, please place it at the end of the picking path.
If there is a lot of space in the hub: Use a physical shelf and label it 99X
If there is little space in the hub: Use a roll container to store the 99X products
Create a Hub Alert TIcket if there are too many 99X SKUs
Error messages during inbound:
If the error 'Inbound request failed, please try again' occurs during inbound, remove the product from the dropping list.
Avoid multiple attempts, as clicking several times can lead to a system crash.
Important: Follow the standard process for incorrect deliveries from suppliers other than REWE and create a hub alert ticket.

[Go-live] New Activation Flow
As of today, there is a new automated process for new employees to book their onboarding shifts. Once the contract has been signed, employees will receive an email with a link that they can use to book their onboarding shift within the first three days of starting their contract.
What exactly will change?
The shifts are created and assigned directly and automatically in Quinyx. Missing onboarding shifts are therefore a thing of the past.
After booking, you will receive an email and a Google Calendar invite for the onboarding shift.
MAs have the option of rebooking their shift if something comes up. In this case, you will also be informed of the new shift by email and in the calendar.
Problems with account creation are checked and employees are informed of the delay
The possible times for onboarding shifts are as follows:
Monday to Friday: 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Thursday: 18:00 - 21:00
Friday: 09:00 am - 12:00 pm

Please find the file here {LINK}
Some notes on the sheets:
the sheets are, as mentioned above, Hub specific. So only the sheet named with your hub code counts;
"SKU" you can find a the SKU which needs to be moved to another shelf space;
"oldShelf" - 4th column: If the cell is empty, we just assigned this product to your Hub, so please just store it in the shelf mentioned in "new shelf";
"newShelf" - 5th column: If the cell is empty, you can get rid of the product (same process like delisting);
if both "shelf" and "newShelf" have a shelf number, it's a normal shelf change.
The changes will go live tonight between 01 am and 07 am, please reorder the products tonight/ tomorrow morning.
If you have any questions, please contact @space_planning.
