Goods receiving

At goods receiving you check that the goods are in order before they go into storage. The registration takes under a minute, and the waybill is stored as documentation of where the goods came from.

Goods receiving is a check per event. It does not appear as a fixed task but as a button you press when goods arrive.

  1. Open Tasks.
  2. Under Self-checks — new registration click Goods receiving → + New measurement.
  3. The form opens as a task with the status In progress.
  4. Fill in the fields (see below).
  5. Click Save, and confirm with Yes, mark as done.

Waybill / invoice Upload an image or PDF
Photo of thermometer/goods Take a photo

Fields with * are mandatory.

Under Waybill / invoice click Add document and choose an image or a PDF. On a phone you can choose to take the picture of the note straight away. The image is stored with the registration and is also used for traceability.

Under Photo of thermometer/goods click Add photo. On a phone it opens the camera.

Important: At Bistro Nordhavn a photo is required for goods receiving. The manager can switch the requirement on or off on the monitoring schedule (Require photo). When it is on, you cannot save without a photo.

If the temperature is above the limit, a deviation is created automatically when you save. It carries the corrective action: the goods are returned, assessed and used immediately, or assessed and discarded, and the supplier is contacted. Failures must always be documented. See Deviations.

The activity Traceability is mandatory: you must be able to document where food comes from. It has a matching “New measurement” with supplier, goods, quantity and invoice.

Do I have to register every delivery? That is decided by your self-check programme. Typically it applies at least to chilled and frozen goods.

I pressed New measurement by mistake. A manager can delete the unfinished task with Delete (admin).

Can I upload several images? Yes, up to three documents and five photos per field.
