Agree how items will be identified
Confirm whether labels should show the order line, opening mark, room type or delivery phase. Keep the agreed label key consistent with the packing list.
Check the route and unloading plan
Confirm delivery basis, access restrictions, unloading equipment, delivery windows and who receives the goods. Transit time is separate from production time and depends on the agreed route.
Set a receiving record
Decide how the receiving team will check package count, visible damage and document discrepancies, and how quickly issues should be reported under the agreed terms.
- Packing list and package references
- Named site contact and receiving hours
- Photo and discrepancy-reporting process
