Step 1. Unload the truck and count the cases. The truck pulls up and
you have to count the cases to sign the Bill of Lading for the driver. Because of all the
different sized boxes, the only way you can do that is to unwrap the pallet(s) and spread
the product around so you can count it. You count the boxes, sign the Bill of Lading, and
send the truck driver on his way.
IScan will not save a huge amount of time
in this step.
Step 2. Match product to the Pack Slip. Now, you re-stack the
product, take your multi-page packing slip and attempt to find all the product on the
list. The items on the vendor's packing slip are named just different enough to make this
a very time consuming process.
If you used IScan to do the case count, this step is
already done.
Step 3. Match the Merchandise Received to your Purchase Order to determine that
you got what you ordered. In addition to the likelihood that the names of
items are not identical on your two lists, they are also in a different order.
If you used IScan to do the case count, this will be an easy
side by side comparison on the computer screen after data is uploaded from the scanner
into the computer.
Step 4. Receiving product into inventory. If you used
WinUltra to produce your Purchase Order, this process is very fast, as you can receive the
entire order in one process. Other inventory systems may require you to manually
receive each of those 150+ items from that monster-mega brochure.
After uploading data into the WinUltra program, you see a
comparison of product ordered and product received. You will make changes (to reflect
back-orders or substitutions as well as corrections) and the process is complete.
Step 1. Scan cases off the truck. Scanner shows case count. Sign Bill
of Lading for truck driver.
Step 2. Scan cases inside Master Cases, Mixed Cases and Pieces.
Step 3. Upload data to WinUltra System.
