Goods Receipt Quality Control and Quarantine

Receipt can be fast only with a quality gate; without quarantine and posting rules, bad parts enter stock.

Goods Receipt Quality Control and Quarantine

Where QC sits

Order, shipment and receipt are three documents; QC is the fourth step. Do not sample until note quantity matches physical count.

Inspection depth follows risk: full check for safety-critical items, document-only for low-value consumables.

Quarantine

Pending goods stay in a physical quarantine zone tied to an unposted receipt. Release requires QC sign-off.

spare parts inventory module keeps quarantine quantity out of available stock.

Sampling

Use a written sampling table by lot size. Mark cartons sampled; allow partial accept and partial reject on one note.

Attach photos and measurements to the receipt line.

  • Match PO, note and count per line.
  • Photo damaged cartons.
  • Define return movement for rejects.
  • Show quarantine in the bin tree.

Reject and return

Reject records need technical reason. Rejected quantity never enters stock.

Supplier scorecards track reject rate.

Posting boundary

Posting creates movement and affects average cost. QC approval must precede post except under a written emergency rule.

Emergency issue needs named approval and fast completion of inspection.

Audit trail

Record inspector, instrument and result with timestamp.

warehouse and inventory management keeps receipt, order and stock on one chain so quarantine stays visible before post.

Improvement

Pareto reject reasons monthly; fix specs with repeat offenders.

If QC feels slow, measure whether missing labels or PO refs are the real bottleneck.
