In this activity, participants compare the purchasing document with the shipping invoice and the items received. In addition to the receipt inspection, participants learn to place and submit orders properly, maintain proper inventory records, track orders placed, and resolve discrepancies.

KEY MESSAGES:

  • The laboratory must have a process to inspect the quality and quantity of reagents and supplies before they are placed into storage or use.
  • The order request must be compared and reconciled with the shipping invoice and the items received.
  • Any discrepancies or issues encountered during the receipt of inventory inspection must be addressed and documented.

SELF ASSESSMENT:

Can you:

  • Compare the order request with the shipping invoice and the items received?
  • Identify discrepancies and issues during the receipt of inventory inspection?
  • Suggest follow-through actions to resolve discrepancies and issues?
  • Update inventory records?
