CLOCKOUT is just that....................no longer on postal time. PMCASING only stops the clock on end of shift duties. Say you were going to PM case your walk sequence flat car ads for tomorrow. THAT is when you would hit PMCASING after you were done with all of your routine daily end of shift stuff like CFS /RTS , sort / disperse outgoing, markups, etc. Now, as an aside, I would wait until the NEXT day to enter the FLATSWSS that I cased the previous day so as to get credit for each box served. I don't trust that system to credit me with all boxes served AFTER I have hit RETURN2DU.
From the - RRECS ACTIVITY GUIDE
