    Shaun I have to say I may have got the title wrong. Either way, take care with your computer settings.

    Mark, I’m not to sure how retailer can handle this change as i have distribution.

    If I change the stock freq for People from weekly to other, the delivery date for subs changes to Tuesday after i arrive the invoice (despite leaving the sub agent receive item date set as Monday). If I leave it on as weekly then it will still show up every week after generating sub orders.

    Either way, i have to go into the sub orders page to change the delivery date back to Mon, or change delivery quantity to 0 for every week.

    This has been an ongoing issue for many high volume monthly titles which does not require a label and goes out to subs on same day. It’s not fun having to change delivery dates for 30+ subs every time this happens.

    Gary your process is not related to this change in frequency. I’d encourage you to speak to a support person to get the correct advice.
