All stock must be stacked within the width of the pallet. No bulk pallets are to be stacked on. 26.7. If a large quantity of stock is required to fulfil the branch order, where possible, utilise product in the reserve location or when picking from the bin location, layer picking must take place. 26.8. All branch orders are to be wrapped using the pallet-wrapping machine (where applicable). Once the pallet is wrapped, it is to be weighed (where applicable) on the scale with the total weight of pallet being recorded on the pallet. The maximum weight of a mixed grocery branch pallet must not exceed 1200kg and bulk pallet 1400kg. If your pallet exceeds this weight restriction you will be required to remove selected product to meet the weight specified. The pallet is then to be numbered e.g. P1, P2 and placed into its designated staging area. The branch daily picking sheet must be used to record all the above-mentioned information (see appendix H) 26.9. On the completion of the branch order, it is required that a supplied sticker is attached showing the total number of pallets picked and the total weight of the branch order as well as the branch name. 26.10. The number of pallets picked for this Branch order is to be recorded on the branch schedule white board located in the warehouse office (where applicable).
