Record the delivery before it becomes shelf stock.
Start the stock trail when a supplier delivery arrives. Book the received quantities into the main store or a branch, link the supplier and purchase order, and keep the supplier receipt with the record. Before-and-after stock levels provide a reference when you later reconcile what came in.
- Check quantities as goods arrive.
- Keep the supplier paperwork attached to the receiving record.
- Review the intake history when reconciling stock.
