My Wand Must be Broken
It might be that I'm grumpy today. It might be the alignment of the stars. Or it could be that the magic wand everyone thinks I have is broken. And the bag of tricks is also empty should anyone care. I also don't read minds (most of the time).
In no particular order I've dealt with:
A request to fix an alleged costing issue that is causing a billing issue. However said part does not belong to me. Now right now I'm covering a position at another plant. I would therefore handle that other plant's issue. It wasn't theirs either.And being the kind, generous, caring cost accountant who really lurves sharing these things, I passed the issue over to the plant it belongs to. I'm just fun that way. I'll ignore the fact that the requester needs to learn how to look this crap up so she can send things to the correct place to begin with. Because, you know, I must have a magic wand to fix it all.
A request to send a blank version of an inventory disposal form to a counterpart in China (requester is the Platform Controller here int he US). Needless to say he thinks I have both a magic wand and a full bag of tricks. What I did not have is a blank copy of said form. See, I get said form, in hard or scanned copy. Filled out. And signed. I don't originate this thing. I had to go hunting for someone who had the form. Then clear their version and send off. magic! without the wand.
A request to cost 2 parts in my warehouse from above mentioned plant I am covering. One issue. The thing wasn't set up correctly. And I cannot cost the items in the warehouse if they are not set up to pull a cost from the correct place. And the system being what it is forbids me from changing things to fix this issue. It's costed after I had to sent a message back requesting correct set up.
There was the request to cost 2 parts elsewhere (for the plant I'm covering). Only they were purchased. And I didn't have the purchase cost. Apparently I was supposed to read the eleventy page email - some of which is in Spanish (which being a rather dense American means I do well to speak English) and understand that the parts requested were to use the cost of 2 other parts they already have blah blah blah. It's done. After I had to send back for more detail.
Pardon me - I think I've got more magic to perform.
