Inventory Receiving Process Guide FAQ's
Who should receive inventory shipments?
Ideally the store owner or a senior manager. Multiple-person verification (one counts, another verifies) catches errors and prevents internal theft. Single-person receiving creates risk.

How do I handle discrepancies?
When should items be entered into POS?
Document immediately with photos and notes. Contact the vendor within 48 hours - most have strict reporting windows. Delay and discrepancies become your problem regardless of cause.
Same day as receiving, before stocking on the sales floor. Items on the floor without POS entry create reconciliation chaos and lost sales when employees can't find them.
