MONITORING SUMMARY • Throughout the school year, participating schools continue to monitor monthly activity for each designated processor.
MONITORING SUMMARY 1. Schools participating in direct diversion processing will enter bulk pound commitments to designated processors on the annual order survey. 2. After annual order survey closes, DPI balances statewide commitments into full truck loads. Adjustments are made by DPI in the online system. Final, revised pound commitments are available for schools to view after mid-May. 3. After July, schools should verify all final pound commitments against deposits made by each processor into the processor’s inventory management system. 4. Throughout the school year, schools must monitor monthly activity for each designated processor.
Monitoring Helpful Tips • If distributor will allow several orders, place all of your monthly direct diversion products on one order. School will then have one invoice per month for all direct diversion products, making verification easier. • Electronic inventory management systems: both companies (K-12 and ProcessorLink) offer training to schools on their own system.
