LuxonLink for Operations

Receiving procedures and short shipments

Ask how to record a short shipment, check the receiving SOP, and see how the answer changes when the packing slip lists a different count.

Illustrative example

The packing slip lists ten cartons and we received nine. What do I record?

This example uses fictional company guidance. Your assistant would use the documents you approve.

Assistant answer

Record the nine cartons received, note the shortage on the delivery paperwork, and notify the shift lead.

From the Xillix field notes

What if the slip lists twelve instead of ten?

We kept nine cartons received and changed the expected count from ten to twelve. The shortage in the answer changed from one to three. The same PDF page supported the procedure.
