Put the delivery away. Put the card back to work.
Receive deliveries in Arda. Put the stock where the card says it goes. Hang the card back at its reorder point, and the next pull orders the part again.
P/N
The problem
A card left at the dock leaves the next reorder to chance.
Your team puts half the delivery away and leaves the rest by the door. The card stays in the receiving pile, so that stock point has no card on it the next time the part runs low. Receive the delivery in Arda and walk the card back to its reorder point before you move on.

Feature breakdown
Receive and close the loop.
Select what came in and hit Receive. Return the cards when you replace the stock. When that shelf runs low again, somebody pulls the card and scans it. The reorder is in the Order Queue before anyone thinks to ask for it.
- Close out the delivery in Arda.
- Place the card back at the reorder point.
Give every delivery a way home.
The location and sub-location travel on the card. Whoever carries the box out of receiving reads A-14 off the card and walks it straight there.
- Read the location off the card.
- Make put-away easier for someone new.
What your team gets back
- For the receiving team
- Read the location and put the stock where it belongs. The card carries the directions.
- For purchasing
- Know which orders landed and which are still out. Close out the ones that came in complete.
- For operations
- Send the card back with the stock. The next person to hit a reorder point has a card to pull.
- For the business
- Ordering, receiving and restocking run as one routine. Your replenishment stops depending on who remembers what.
- What’s at stake
- A card that never goes back can’t warn anyone the shelf is low. Half a delivery is not a full shelf either. Receive what came in and hold the card until the balance lands.
