Receiving/Checking In
FASTRANS takes a proactive approach to product receipt by acquiring your purchase order and shipping information BEFORE the material leaves the origin city. We generate a receiving report (ICR) for the warehouse with the anticipated arrival date from the purchase order and the transportation bill of lading. This eliminates the warehouse doing handwritten receiving reports and makes the whole process faster and more accurate.
The warehouse signs for freight from the delivery carrier AFTER verifying the information including pieces, weight, part number, side markings, and condition of all cartons for obvious damages, shortages or coverages.
The warehouse THEN faxes and mails FASTRANS a signed copy of all receiving reports and carriers' bill of lading. Currently all warehouses are required to fax their information within four hours of receipt.
