Receiving Blue Containers

Quick answer

All inbound blue containers are received at Dock 3. Scan the container barcode into the WMS, inspect the seal, then route to Staging Zone B for putaway.

Full procedure

  1. 1Confirm the delivery appointment in the WMS dashboard before the truck backs in.
  2. 2Meet the driver at Dock 3 and verify the bill of lading matches the PO number.
  3. 3Inspect each blue container for seal integrity and visible damage.
  4. 4Scan every container barcode into the Receiving module (RCV-01).
  5. 5Photograph any damaged containers and log a Damage Incident (Form DMG-114).
  6. 6Route accepted containers to Staging Zone B; escalate discrepancies to the shift lead.
  7. 7Sign the driver release once all containers are accounted for.

Common mistakes & exceptions

  • What if a container seal is broken — Refuse the container, photograph it, and file Form DMG-114 immediately.
  • Do I need an appointment to receive — Yes — every inbound shipment must have a confirmed WMS appointment.
