Receiving

Receiving in warehousing refers to the process of accepting and inspecting goods that arrive at a warehouse. When products are delivered, they are checked against purchase orders to ensure accuracy, quality, and condition. This involves unloading items, counting them, and examining for any damage. Once everything is verified, the items are logged into the inventory system and stored in the appropriate locations within the warehouse. Efficient receiving is crucial as it helps maintain accurate stock levels, ensures timely order fulfillment, and minimises losses due to errors or damage.
