Chapter 4 Receiving & Put-Away
Receiving Receiving is the setup for all other warehousing activities. If we don’t receive merchandised properly it will be very difficult to handle it properly in put-away, storage, picking, or shipping. If we allow damaged or inaccurate deliveries in the door, we are likely to ship damaged or inaccurate shipments out the door.
Receiving • The setup for all other warehousing activities: • -> Direct Shipping • -> Cross Docking • -> Receiving scheduling • -> Pre-receiving • -> Receipt preparation
