The receipt of incoming goods is a vital step that precedes all other internal transport, storage and order picking processes.
This area encompasses goods acceptance, goods acceptance controlling and quality assurance of the incoming goods. It is particularly important to ensure here that the individual goods are correctly checked and labelled, in order that any errors when storing the goods or order picking – which result in erroneous forwarding on for dispatch or production – are duly avoided. It is necessary to utilise a range of methods here, in order to ease goods acceptance in advance and to avoid any errors.
