Inbound Deliveries

Receiving Goods

Inbound deliveries record the receipt of goods from suppliers. They update inventory and create the basis for invoice matching.

2. Verify items against delivery note
3. Count and inspect received quantities
4. Record any damages or discrepancies
5. Confirm receipt to update inventory

Quality Inspection

For items requiring inspection:

• Place in inspection location
• Perform quality checks
• Accept or reject items
• Move accepted items to storage

Handling Discrepancies

When received quantities differ from ordered:

• Document the variance
• Create claims for damaged goods
• Request credit notes from supplier
• Update purchase order accordingly
