Receiving Merchandise

Delivery tickets are to be prepared for merchandise received by the mailroom indicating that the number of packages/boxes shown on the packing slip were received. A copy of the packing slip should be forwarded to the User Department with the package. User Departments should count contents of packages/boxes and notify the Purchasing Department if items are missing or damaged. If delivery is made directly to the User Department, the packing slip should be verified, signed off as "received" and forwarded to the Purchasing Department. If no packing slip is present with the order, the purchasing Department should be notified in the form of a brief memo that the merchandise was received.
