SOURCED GOODS UNPACKING WAREHOUSE S.O.P

SOURCED GOODS UNPACKING WAREHOUSE S.O.P

OVERVIEW

Sourced Goods pieces are purchased by the inventory team daily using the PO Builder screens in Impress. Packages for Sourced Goods orders arrive with a special Vantage PO number, for example “P123456-S12345”. Where the P number represents the Vantage PO, and the S number represents the Sales Order.

When Sourced goods packages arrive, the packages with the special PO number are typically physically separated from other “Customer Goods” packages received from the carrier, and are processed differently. This document will outline the process for Sourced Goods unpacking only.

VAT

The VAT system runs from any tablet in the warehouse. To Start the system, click the VAT icon on the desktop.

If the tablet you are using will be out of your sight, you should Log Out using the Log Out button on the top right of the screen. All scanning of barcodes, moving of packages, and picking is recorded against your username for quality control.
