PalletAuditsHalf pallets need their own audit
CHEP and PECO half pallets are different equipment from full 48x40 pallets. Count, report and reconcile them separately.
Different sizes, different equipment
CHEP's North American pooled half pallet is 40x24 inches; PECO's half pallet is 48x20. iGPS lists only 48x40 pallets on its spec sheet. Pallet companies track equipment by type, so a half pallet declared as a full one (or the reverse) leaves both balances wrong.
How to audit them
- Count full and half pallets separately in every area. A stack of halves looks like a stack of fulls from a distance.
- Check that your WMS records the pallet type or size on display and half-pallet loads. If it doesn't, keep a list of the items or customers that ship on halves.
- Run one audit per size. In PalletAudits, pick the size on the audit form; files that mix sizes are flagged.
