Compare dispatched and arrived units
T-C dispatches ten units. All ten arrive: eight pass the sample condition check and two are visibly damaged. The local policy accepts custody of the two in a damage area pending investigation, while releasing the eight usable units. It does not assign responsibility for the damage.
| Subset | Quantity | Receipt state | Evidence / next task |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC01–TC08 | 8 | Custody accepted; usable | IN-TC1 / move to B-C |
| TC09–TC10 | 2 | Custody accepted; damaged hold | IN-TC2; photos; Q-C |
| T-C totals | 10 arrived; 0 missing | Condition issue DC-C open | No missing-transfer quantity |
Complete custody reconciliation and retain the damage case
- Count every arrived unit
- Record condition by subset
- Release eight usable units
- Hold two with photos and location
- Close quantity handover; retain damage decision
If only nine arrive, record one missing separately from any damaged units. Damage is not a substitute explanation for an absent item.
Destination custody totals ten; usable receipt is eight and damaged custody is two. Keeping T-C permanently unreceived would conceal the goods on site. DC-C remains with the investigation owner until a separate disposition is authorised. No credit, claim amount or inventory write-down is assumed.
Is this a two-unit shortage, and how much arrived?
Show the worked answer
No. Ten arrived: eight usable and two damaged. The quantity shortage is zero; the two-unit issue concerns condition and disposition.
