Receiving discrepancy records for a wholesale headwear shipment for promotional product distributors: the buyer decision
A receiving discrepancy begins with the difference between the expected shipment and the physical delivery. Count what arrived before interpreting why a quantity or SKU differs.
Reconcile delivery against the packing list
Record carrier reference, arrival time and carton identifiers before opening. Compare carton count, then reconcile unit quantities by style, color and size. Keep an incorrect assortment separate from missing units so the same shortage is not counted twice.
Apply the review to your buying program
Distributors should obtain receiving evidence from the actual delivery location, which may be an end client or event site. Identify who counted the goods and when. A complaint forwarded by an account manager needs the underlying observations before the affected shipment can be investigated.
Separate intake facts from an explanation
Photograph seals and visible damage, retain the original packing list, and identify who performed each count. Recount disputed lines independently. Carrier loss, packing error and warehouse misallocation are possible explanations requiring evidence, not conclusions from the first count.
Keep the decision evidence
