Chapter 4 Receiving & Put-Away

Receiving is the setup for all other warehousing activities. If we don’t receive merchandised properly it will be very difficult to handle it properly in putaway, storage, picking, or shipping. If we allow damaged or inaccurate deliveries in the door, we are likely to ship damaged or inaccurate shipments out the door.
