Handle damaged, expired, and dead stock through a supplier return routine that protects cash recovery and operating traceability. Use it as a practical daily rhythm for warehouse teams, inventory controllers, and shift supervisors.
What to review every day
Break the workflow into opening checks, live execution, and end-of-day review so teams are not improvising under pressure.
That structure helps supervisors catch exceptions early, especially when receiving, dispatch, and transfers happen at the same time.
Operational checkpoints
- Tag supplier-returnable stock separately from liquidation or write-off stock.
- Document supplier approval before final stock deduction wherever possible.
- Track return reference numbers, transporter details, and expected credit timing.
A daily playbook works best when the same measures are reviewed at the same time and exceptions are logged while still fresh.
Consistency turns warehouse noise into useful operational data and stronger stock decisions.
