Receiving discrepancies and quarantine
Decide how to handle short, surplus, wrong-item and inspection-pending deliveries.
Close a short shipment without closing the purchase balance
Record what arrived, preserve the supplier discrepancy and decide whether the undelivered balance stays open.
Decide what to do with an unauthorised overdelivery
Separate an ordered receipt from surplus cartons awaiting a buyer’s acceptance or return instruction.
Resolve a wrong-item delivery without relabelling it
Preserve the identity of the delivered item and link its return to the supplier’s corrected delivery.
Hold received goods while an inspection record is missing
Record custody separately from release so an arrival cannot become pickable through receipt alone.
