When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This checklist is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this checklist covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Inbound and Receiving programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: feeds security incident and receiving inspection
Not for
- Delivery Appointment Record, which books an inbound delivery into a dock slot and records whether it arrived when it said it would.
- Receiving Inspection Record, which checks an inbound delivery against the purchase order and the specification before it is accepted into stock.
- Over Short and Damaged Report, which records a discrepancy between what was ordered, what the paperwork says and what physically arrived.
- Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
