Postman Delivery Management Startup Procedure dated 24/10/2025

📍 PDMS Daily Startup Procedure

📌 1. Start Today's Shift

• Begin your day by starting the shift for the current date in the system.

⚠️ 2. Forcefully End Yesterday's Shift

• The system will prompt you to forcibly end the shift for the previous date, as it was left open.

🔄 3. Confirm Shift Cycle

• Successfully end the yesterday's shift and then begin the shift for today's date again to ensure the system is in the correct daily cycle.

📋 4. Access Pending Returns

• After this, all articles pending from yesterday will now be visible in the "Pending for Returns" screen.

🚫 5. Hold Account Submission

• Do not "Submit Account" for any beat at this time for yesterday's articles. Once submitted, you cannot invoice today's articles to that beat.

📦 6. Invoice Today's Articles

• Proceed with your normal routine: Invoice all of today's articles and process any cash transactions.

🔄 7. Process All Returns

• Take returns for both yesterday's pending articles and today's newly invoiced articles.

✅ 8. Final Account Submission

• Finally, use the "Submit Account" function for the beat. The system will correctly display the total transactions for both yesterday and today.
