  • Inventory Receiving Methods

    What methods are you using for accurately and reliably receiving ingredients, packaging supplies, or any other net invoiced items?

    There can be a lot of problems to overcome between receiving an inventory item through the bay door and a check being cut to pay the invoice.

    Being involved with a medium sized brewery we are big enough where we have inventory items being delivered each day but small enough that we can not justify a bar coding program or having someone dedicated to inventory. We often have a brewer receive items while double brewing and receiving the item in our inventory often gets forgotten or set aside.

    We have tried receiving sheets where you fill out what was received, date, supplier, and how much. With a grain order that consist of 8 skids, the packaging slip is often easier to use due to the large variety of items (sometimes multiple pages). When the UPS man throws a 44lb box of hops on in the bay door and walks off.. the guys dont take the time to fill out a receiving sheet and do paperwork on just one box of hops. Then it gets thrown on the hop shelf and forgotten about. This leads to an invoice not getting payed or inventory being off the next time its counted.

    This might be laughable for some breweries but having multiple brewers that are all involved with receiving items from tractor trailer loads to a small box of keg collars it has proved to be hard to track and keep consistent.

    What methods have you seen to help alleviate this issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    Should they not receive against a PO? That is what we do, and also many of our customers. When we receive something, we count against the PO, stamp it received with the date and send it off to our accounting.

      The manager uses the custom receiving sheet to receive against a PO on an brewery software. Our POs are never printed and stay in the software.

      So your saying every PO be printed and by the Bay Door instead of a receiving notebook.

        That is correct.
