Goods-in diary

Deliveries booked before they arrive, expected on a date, and chased when they do not turn up. The floor plans around it and you can see it.

History kept per supplier
What it produces

Goods-in diary, as you see it.

Booked days are costed into hours of receiving work against the hours actually rostered, so a day that will not fit is visible a week out rather than on the morning.

Tuesday is over the hours rostered for it. Seen a week out, so it can be re-dated or staffed โ€” rather than discovered when the lorry arrives.

How it runs

Three steps, in order.

  1. Booked as a PO or an ASNIf we are raising it, we send the purchase order to your supplier and they confirm what is in each box. If you already hold the PO in your own system, an ASN just tells the warehouse what is coming and when.
  2. Costed against the rosterEach booked day is converted into hours of receiving work and set against the hours actually rostered for it. A day that will not fit shows up as a problem while there is still time to move it.
  3. Received by scanning the boxesOn the day, the floor receives against the booking rather than against whatever paperwork turns up in the box.
What that includes

What that includes.

  • A shared calendar you can see and book into
  • PO raised and sent to your supplier, or an ASN if you hold it
  • Each day costed into receiving hours against the roster
  • Expected versus received, per delivery
  • Supplier, courier and box count recorded against the booking
  • Deliveries that have not arrived stay open on the calendar
What we need from you
  • Deliveries added to the diary with a date and expected quantity
  • A supplier or PO reference
What you get back
  • A shared diary you can see and add to
  • Expected against received, per delivery
  • Deliveries that have not arrived stay open on the calendar
  • Supplier history, so a repeatedly short supplier is visible
The honest bit

Unbooked deliveries still get received โ€” we are not going to turn your stock away. But they are slower, and they are the most common cause of a count being wrong, so the diary is worth using.
