I spent today covering for the receiving clerk while she works at some brat fry over the weekend.
One of the things I have to do in her job is check microsoft outlook every so often for e-mails from corporate, becausefrom time to time frequently fuck ups of some sort happen that require us to rescan or re-check in merchandise because it didn't take the first time.
I got one of those e-mails today. The invoice for our Coke delivery yesterday had an error in transmission. Apparently they forgot to carry the 2 or some such bullpucky.
Normally, when Coke and select other vendors come in to drop off merchandise, they have some electronic...thing with them, they stick their thing in our...place, a paper invoice spits out for us to retain, then you go into a program on the store scanner and scan their products as they tell you the quantity they're delivering. Then, at the end everything magically adds up correctly, you close out the invoice, the vendor rep is free to take his product to the salesfloor, and you're free to return to return. Or return to daydreaming about licking banana pudding off Kristen Bell's nekkid body.
Only the products on this invoice had already been stocked to the floor, there was no vendor rep to tell me the quantity of each product, and I had to create a new invoice based off the old one left yesterday. And this had to be done by me, no letting it wait until the receiving clerk returned on Monday, because corporate automatically pays all invoices three days after getting them, and if they paid the invoice without us acknowledging it and checking in product, it would mean Dire Fucking Consequences for our on-hands and our shrinkage. And since inventory is little more than a week away, the problem would be quickly found and pointed fingers would be thrust in my direction.
So I grabbed my scanner and the paper invoice. It asked me to input the total quantity and the cost. Done. Now, to input the UPC of the first product on the list....crap, it won't fit. Let's try cutting off the first zero. Okay, that worked. Yippee! So all I have to do is input the UPC and the quantity that was delivered for each item on the invoice. Done....
...except now the costs don't match. Shit, I guess I was supposed to enter something there? Okay, let's go back and put in the total cost for each UPC, Badda bing, badda boom....
...and now the total cost is much too high at the end. Dammit. I guess I have to put in the unit cost instead, and the scanner will make the calculation for me. So, here I go again, typing in UPCs and costs, and huzzah! I'm done!
NOW WHAT!? I'm missing one UPC and $24. AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH. It won't let me transmit the invoice until everything matches up perfectly! Okay, let's go through the list again, one by one,....
...two times, HAHAHA! I FOUND THE CULPRIT. I missed a UPC during my first attempt. I added it to the invoice, along with the $24 cost.
It's letting me transmit the invoice! I HAVE DEFEATED YOU! EAT YOUR MELTED SHIT!
An hour-long ordeal. Why must this always happen on my days to fill in? That done, I was free to go back to....
...work. What kinda guy do you think I am?
