Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009081008A2] The invention relates to a method for sorting postal items for N sorting destinations using a sorting machine that comprises an item conveyor (3) that serves M sorting outputs each provided with a removable item storage tray (5) handled by a tray conveyor (6), M being smaller than N, wherein said method comprises detecting (21) if a current postal item to be sorted has a so-called over-booked logic destination that is not associated with a sorting output, and dynamically allocating (24) to said over-booked logic destination a certain sorting output occupied by another logic destination. In this kind of sorting, the method comprises carrying out a tray change (25) and placing in standby, on a loop of the tray conveyor, the tray that was extracted from the sorting output.
