Goods receipt

At goods receipt, delivered goods are accepted, compared with the order and delivery note and checked for quantity, item and damage. For drinks this includes checking best-before dates, undamaged crates and returned empties.

Deviations are noted immediately on the delivery note and reported. The goods are then put into storage and booked into stock. A clean goods receipt prevents stock errors and later disputes. Especially in home delivery and wholesale, deposit items, crate counts and visible damage should be checked right at unloading.
