Effective January 27, 2012, a POS ONE system enhancement will no longer require the authorized temporary increase Reason Codes 001 and 002 for retail floor stock limit. The increase in the retail floor stock limit provides the flexibility to reflect additional stamp stock inventory at the retail floor stock level.
If additional stamp stock is required that exceeds the retail floor stock limit, the POS system will prompt with the following message: “A supervisor override is required to exceed the maximum stock transfer allowed amount.” This requires the unit supervisor to log on with his or her login ID to authorize the transaction.

[Revise the note to read as follows:]
Note: Newly established PRUs under SIA can request the district Finance manager (DFM) to establish the retail floor stock limit when there are no SPLY sales to use for calculating the retail floor stock limit as described earlier. The DFM will provide the unit with a written authorization with the amount established, effective date, and expiration date.
For the purpose of establishing the retail floor stock limit, the calculation to determine same period last year (SPLY) stamp sales is to take the total amount reported in AIC 852 on the unit’s PS Form 1412 and subtract AICs 011, 086, and 094.
If additional stamp stock is required that exceeds the Retail Floor Stock limit, the POS system will request a Supervisor Override. The unit supervisor will log on with his or her POS ONE login ID and authorize the transaction.
