Correct a mispick found at packing before sealing

Reconcile the picked item with the order and return the wrong units to a checked location before restarting packing.

Record what is on the packing bench

The synthetic order asks for four small trays TR-S. The bench contains three TR-S and one large tray TR-L. No substitution exists. The package is still unsealed, so the packer can stop this parcel without changing a completed dispatch.

Correct both the parcel and the wrong-item location

  1. Stop sealing the parcel
  2. Compare item identities with order
  3. Return wrong item with location evidence
  4. Pick missing correct item
  5. Recheck and seal

If the returned item’s condition or origin is uncertain, send it to inspection rather than placing it back as pickable stock.

PC-G retains the original three-plus-one observation and both corrective movements. Do not simply edit the pick count to four TR-S, which would hide where TR-L went. If the parcel had already left, use the dispatch and return processes instead of pretending this pre-seal correction happened.

What should the final parcel and B-L correction show?

Show the worked answer

The parcel contains four TR-S and zero TR-L. B-L receives the one checked TR-L; retain its return movement and the extra TR-S pick under PC-G.
