At its most fundamental level, receiving is the process of confirming that you received what you received what you ordered. Does the material received match your purchase order ? Do you place it in your warehouse quickly ?
When you consider that average warehouse receives, counts, and inspects thousands of items of varying shapes and sizes from hundreds of vendors whose picking, packing, and shipping practices are all different, it is not surprising that receiving can be one of the most complicated functions and warehouse processes. Errors in receiving, unlike most other errors in your warehouse have a ripple effect. If you can't get your receiving process working smoothly, you'll run into near-future scenarios where product will be sitting on your receiving dock, or on pallets in a corner. Your pickers will waste time looking for them.
