With the opening of a Target Food RDC, random weight items will be processed through Target RDCs for the first time, requiring changes to systems. Random weight product includes items such as t-bone steaks, bone-in roasts, turkeys and deli meat. The invoices for these items must be paid based on the actual weight received at the DC and not the item VCP on file. Since the actual weight of each carton will vary, the DCs will not hold inventory at the actual case weight for random weight items. To maintain a more accurate financial and unit inventory visibility for these items, changes would be required to several Target systems. The current systems were built with the assumption that the case-pack will be a whole number, and that it will be consistent over time.

The on-line mode will be used to handle single loss conversions. Single loss conversions will be needed when a user needs to review loss data for a loss report that has not been processed through the batch processes. The conversion routines will also be used when a loss in the old format is restored from tape archives.
