Confirm the SKU and product variant
Check the product name, SKU, model, size, color, flavor, version, and other identifying details against the expected inventory information.
Count the actual quantity
Compare the received quantity with the supplier documents, purchase order, packing list, or expected shipment information. Record discrepancies rather than relying on carton counts alone.
Review product condition
Define the visible condition checks that matter for the product, including damage, stains, scratches, missing components, incorrect variants, or other exceptions.
Check individual packaging
Review packaging condition, seals, accessories, inserts, protective materials, and any product-specific packaging requirements before labeling or repacking.
Verify barcodes and labels
Confirm that the correct barcode or FNSKU label is present, readable, properly placed, and associated with the correct SKU. Identify products that need relabeling or additional preparation.
Document exceptions and next actions
Record damaged units, quantity differences, missing labels, packaging problems, or products that need a decision. Define whether each exception should be held, repacked, relabeled, returned, or reviewed.
