Damaged and Returns to Supplier Log
Close the loop on every return so a credit note that never arrives is noticed, and the stock you wrote off is the stock you were actually credited for.
Retail shop floor · RS-06
Goods in sheet for retail — every delivery logged with carrier, note number, cartons expected against counted, shortages, damage and who signed.

Have a carton count in your own hand next to every signature, so a short delivery is a claim and not an argument.
Anyone who takes deliveries at the back door of a shop — stockroom staff, supervisors and owners of independent shops and branches.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every delivery through the back door — who brought it, what the note said, what was actually counted off the van, what was short or damaged, and whether it has been put away.
Sign for what you counted. Count cartons before you sign, and write what you counted, not what the note says. A signature for the note's figure is very hard to argue with later; a signature with a carton count next to it is a record.
Write-on lines: Store / branch · Week beginning · Goods-in area
Table, 13 rows: Date · Time · Carrier / supplier · Note / con. no. · Expected · Received · Shortfall · Signed by · Put away · Notes
Because that is what you can check while the driver waits. Item-level checking against the delivery note happens when the cartons are opened — the Put away column is for that step, and any shortage inside a carton goes on the Damaged and Returns to Supplier Log.
That sheet is written for a kitchen, where temperature and date checks matter at the door. This one is for a shop's stockroom, where the count and the signature matter most.
Close the loop on every return so a credit note that never arrives is noticed, and the stock you wrote off is the stock you were actually credited for.
Record what was checked at the door while the driver is still there, so a short delivery or a warm box is a dated line rather than an argument a week later.
Send goods with a note, or check a delivery in properly, with the discrepancy line that settles arguments weeks later.
Count stock area by area and see the variance beside the count, so a stock take produces a number you can act on rather than a vague reassurance.
