Storage of the Receiving Documents

Store documents related to the activity of reception is always a nightmare. What is the best and most effective way to be sure that for "the D day ", you will be able to find your document in less than a minute?

Use a file cabinet with a folder per supplier. Folders have to be sorted by suppliers alphabetic order.

In a supplier folder sort the documents per date of arrival, the newest in the front.

For a delivery, the list of documents has to be organized like the following:

  • On the top: the supplier's delivery note;
  • behind: the Pick-Up Order sent by the supplier with the material and checked by the driver at the point of pick-up;
  • the Promise (on blue paper);
  • the transmission report (on yellow paper);
  • initial Pick-Up Order.

Never use binder, heavy to manipulate and requiring to punch all documents (labor intensive).


After a given period you can store directly your folder in an archiving box with no further manipulation.
