How a warehouse receives goods: appointment, unloading, checking against the ASN, quality check, putaway and stock update.
Drawing diagramβ¦
Warehouse inbound flowchart: the supplier sends an advance shipping notice (ASN) and books a dock slot, the truck arrives and is unloaded, pallets are scanned against the ASN; shortages or excess are recorded as discrepancies. A quality check samples the goods; failed goods go to quarantine. Accepted goods are labelled with licence plate numbers, the WMS suggests putaway locations, pallets are put away and stock becomes available for orders.
