INVENTORY PREP WORK

OK GUYS. SO WACC is kind of tricky come inventory season. Why? Because unlike Womens and Mens who can bundle fold their items we have to bin and bag our items. To help better prepare us Morgin and I have constructed a list of things that need to get done before inventory time.

1. SKULESS/SINGLE SHOES. We have about 4-5 bins of single shoes in backstock. That's not to take in to account any that might be on the floor. Saturday morning I am going to begin working on pairing these up. I will leave off with how far I've gotten. Just so everyone knows the single shoes go into bins in backstock underneath the 'online returns rack'.
2. GUTTING THE CASH WRAP. This duty is being placed upon us because this IS our territory. This means we have to pull ANY AND ALL product out from that cash wrap. No hidden tangled jewelry, no weird sample candles, or electronics. Nada. There is also a bunch of nail polish up there that has to come down into the office.
3. BEAUTY/OFFICE. Luckily, the office beauty and jewelry isn't too crazy. However, the issue we're going to have here is the nail polish. Each box of nail polish has a different color inside. We need to go through and organize these boxes by color. Each box of nail polish has a code number on the top which represents what color is on the inside. This will make it easier when sorting through them that way you don't have to continously keep opening the box to see the color. I will go into more detail on organization of the office with whomever is going to be doing this task. Also, jewelry could use a good fill which I'm sure will eliminate at least one basket back there.
4. TIGHTS. So here it is. The tights situation has finally come back to bite us in the butt. But not really. We just need to get in there and organize the boxes.
5. TANGLED JEWELRY. We need to make sure all jewelry is sku'd and untangled. Morgin went through and untangled the t-stand that has been at the cash wrap. Mario and I went through and sku'd the jewelry we found without sku's.

The other elephant in the room is the skuless bins. We need to have someone constantly working on these bins. The sku book seems to have been updated recently and I actually had no problem findind everything I was looking for earlier.. We also need to make sure we're sku'ing items as we go throughout the night.
