Checklist — Receiving & Put-Away
Companion to Sold Out on Camera. Still Somewhere in the Warehouse. One pass per inbound, so the next shipment doesn’t recreate the gap.
| Step | Done? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shipment identified (PO / supplier / reference) | □ | |
| Each SKU counted on receiptCount before anything moves to the floor | □ | |
| IDs match how you sell (SKU / UPC / your code) | □ | |
| Damage noted and quarantined | □ | |
| Receiving zone used until put-away is done | □ | |
| Active location assigned and labelled | □ | |
| Overstock location assigned and labelled (if needed) | □ | |
| Record updated (quantity and location) | □ | |
| Available to sell only after the put-away rule is met | □ | |

Available to sell means put-away is done and the record matches the shelf. Stock sitting in the receiving zone is physical, not available.
