Consistent delivery information makes receiving, checking and loading easier to plan.
01 · Collect cargo details
Record product names, carton counts, carton dimensions, gross weights and ready dates by supplier. Use consistent units and an identifiable order reference for each batch.
02 · Coordinate warehouse arrivals
Schedule deliveries around cargo readiness and the shipment plan. Agree receiving details, delivery lists and how discrepancies will be reported.
03 · Check and prepare cargo
Check carton counts, labels and packaging condition on arrival. Allow time for relabeling, palletizing or packing adjustments before loading.
04 · Confirm the shipment list
Match the actual shipped quantities to commercial documents. Review omissions, short shipments and last-minute changes, and retain loading records for follow-up.
Keep these details together in one sourcing brief for supplier review and follow-up.
