Receiving an Inbound Shipment

#inbound#receiving#putaway#manifest

Before You Start

Every inbound shipment arrives with a manifest listing the expected SKUs and quantities. Open the shipment in the warehouse console so you can verify items as you unload.

Check-in and Verify

  1. Scan the inbound shipment barcode to open it.
  2. Scan each item or carton as you unload it.
  3. The system compares your scans against the manifest in real time.
  4. Flag any shortage, overage, or damaged item immediately.

Putaway

After verification, the console suggests a storage location for each SKU. Scan the location barcode when you place the stock so inventory stays accurate and pickable.

Important: Do not store unverified or damaged stock as sellable. Route damaged items to the incident flow so they are not picked for customer orders.
