Packing Slip
Packing Slip
The Purchasing Agent creates a purchase order in the accounting system and places the order.
The Purchasing Agent files the purchase requisition/check request and purchase order until the goods are delivered and received. When goods are received, the Purchasing Agent matches the packing slip with the purchase requisition and purchase order and forwards them to the Accounts Payable Coordinator for payment.
Packing Slip Verification
The employee who has requested the purchase order and received the merchandise verifies the packing slip and sends it to purchasing.
- Check off each item received. If the quantity received is not the same, write in ink next to the number the amount received.
- Sign and date the original packing slip.
- If there is no packing slip, make a copy of the original purchase requisition and check off the items the same as if it were a packing slip and note on the copy it is being used as a packing slip.
- Send packing slip to Purchasing Agent.
- The packing slip needs to be on its way to purchasing within one working day so the purchase can be processed, and the vendor can be paid promptly.
