1

Check the delivery before shelving

Keep delivered items together while comparing them with the supplier document. Confirm product, pack size, quantity, and visible condition.

2

Record what actually arrived

Update stock using the received quantity, not simply the quantity ordered. Note shortages, substitutions, damaged items, and unexpected extras.

3

Keep supplier evidence connected

Make the invoice or delivery note easy to trace to the stock movement. This shortens later investigations into cost or quantity differences.

4

Release stock to the shelf

Only mix the delivery into shelf stock after the check and record are complete. This gives the team a clear boundary between received and unverified items.

Compazz tip

Photograph or upload supplier documents while the delivery is still being checked.
