8 Common Problems with Goods Receipt<\/h2>\n1. Manually counting items<\/a>\n\n2. Paper-based system<\/a>\n\n3. No goods receipt process<\/a>\n\n4. Slow goods receipt process<\/a>\n\n5. Delay in items for sale<\/a>\n\n6. Limited visibility<\/a>\n\n7. Not checking against a PO<\/a>\n\n8. Checking large quantities<\/a>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-1\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 1: Manually Counting items<\/h2>\n\n\nPhysically counting items as they arrive into the warehouse.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nDoing a manual count is vastly inefficient because it increases the cost of labour and lowers the return. It also increases the risk of mistakes being made and inaccurate stock figures appearing online.\n

How to solve it<\/span><\/h4>\nSolving this problem requires precision during the goods receipt process, and the best way to achieve this is by using an easy-to-use warehouse management system (WMS)<\/a> that incorporates barcode scanning. The use of barcodes eliminates the margin for human error and ensures that all delivered items are correctly recorded. As a result, the correct stock figures are listed online, meaning fewer oversells or missed sales opportunities.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-2\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 2: Paper-Based System<\/h2>\nRelying on a paper-based system and manually writing down what is delivered.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nUsing a paper-based system and keeping a written account of what has been delivered can lead to inaccurate checks, incorrect stock figures, and misplaced or lost orders. It is also highly inefficient, costing more labour than it returns.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nYour aim at goods-in is to eliminate all margin for human error. Switching out your pen and paper for a more accurate barcode scanner will speed up this process and greatly reduce the potential for any errors. Using a WMS can entirely eliminate paper, reducing all the risks listed above, while also improving speed and efficiency. The impact here isn\u2019t just felt at goods-in, but across the whole warehouse. Eliminating paper will help you to ship every order on time, without fail.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-3\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 3: No Goods Receipt Process<\/h2>\nThere is no set method for inventory receiving.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nBy not having a goods-in process, you are required to do more regular stock takes to constantly ensure that the inventory figures listed online are correct. This is time-consuming, costly, and inefficient.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nQuite simply, put a process in place. Goods-in is the heart of your warehouse because every later process depends on this being performed correctly. Using workflows that log, count, and register your inventory as it enters the warehouse will provide benefits throughout the entire order fulfillment journey.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-4\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 4: Slow Goods Receipt process<\/h2>\nInventory receiving is a bottleneck for your business.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nMuch like having no process at all, if you have one that is inefficient, then you will be wasting time, money, and resources that could be better spent elsewhere.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nWork out where the kinks are in your current processes and focus on how to smooth them out. More times than not, the goods-in process is slow because of the humans working it, so to really optimise your system, automation is key. Here\u2019s how to receive goods-in without scanning every single item<\/a>.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-5\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 5: Delay in Items for Sale<\/h2>\nThere is a delay between items being delivered and being available for sale online.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nThe longer it takes for your inventory to register online, the larger the window for missed sales opportunities.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nIf your process currently involves uploading a CSV file or similar into your ecommerce software, then the best solution is to find a WMS that integrates with this platform and cuts out the file uploading. With a decent WMS, your inventory figures should be updated across all platforms as soon as they are scanned at goods-in.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-6\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 6: Limited Visibility<\/h2>\nNo tracking or visibility of the delivery performance: time, cancellations, mis-shipments.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nThis problem makes it difficult to monitor KPIs, judge performance and replace the services if needed.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nOption 1 is to put manual task recording in place. You may already be doing this if you\u2019re reporting on these metrics to your management team.\n\nOption 2 is to put some manual time tracking software like Harvest<\/a> in place. This can help with understanding where your team spend their time.\n\nOption 3 is to look at advanced software for warehouse management and carrier management. Both these pieces of software will deliver the visibility on delivery performance you need. A good CRM like Salesforce could also help with tracking any issues that do arise in a standard way you can report on.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=\u201dproblem-7\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 7: Not Checking against a PO<\/h2>\nNot checking inventory received against a purchase order (PO).<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nIf you do not check your goods received against a PO then you will require regular stock takes to ensure correct inventory levels. You also open yourself up to more lost sales opportunities, dissatisfied customers, and potential over payment for stock.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nWith a warehouse management system, as goods are scanned in they will be automatically reconciled against a PO. This not only eliminates the need for this to be done manually, but it also speeds up the process and saves time and labour.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u201dText\u201d module_id=\u201dproblem-8\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.23.1\u2033 background_size=\u201dinitial\u201d background_position=\u201dtop_left\u201d background_repeat=\u201drepeat\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]\n

Problem 8: checking large quantities<\/h2>\nItems arriving in pallets with large quantities to inspect.<\/strong>\n

Impact<\/h4>\nIf you have items arriving like this, it is difficult to unwrap and check each item, which can lead to inaccurate stock figures. Inaccurate stock figures can then lead to missed sales opportunities or overselling.\n

How to solve it<\/h4>\nBarcode label the pallet and assign the products to the unique pallet label. This enables you to move pallets around efficiently. You can also store inner, outer, and pallet quantities in a WMS and use your software to calculate quantities based on defaults.\n\nThe key thing to have available if you go down this route is the ability to overwrite the default quantity if you need to.\n\n\u00a0\n\n
