Could u advise the procedure or step while goods deliver from distribution centre to store or retailer ?

Question

Any information or checking needed for distribution centre during this stage ?

Answer 1

Once an order is placed (lets say 7-11), the order is input into a computer.
The computer then prints out what is commonly referred to as a pick ticket. The pick ticket is given to a material handler in the warehouse who "picks" the products printed on the paper.
A good warehouse will have the items print in the order that is the most efficient order to pull from the shelves even.
The items are plastic wrapped and palletized and loaded onto a truck in the logical order it is to be delivered.
The truck is routed and the items delivered and signed for by the customer that they recieved.
Once the truck in route the tracking method you are referring to varies by company again. UPS and Fedex are great examples of being able to track a package thru the delivery process, however if you are selling potato chips it doesnt make sense to invest this type of money in tracking (there is no payback).
So again it varies by what is being shipped (value) and by how modernized the distribution is.
The distribution varies greatly by the type of product that is being channelled but the winner is the one who does it the cheapest.
Technology plays a big part in an efficient warehouse.

Answer 2

As best I can understand your question, at the time an order is placed by a retailer to a
distributer or manufacturer, the order is sent to the credit department. This is often automatic with computers. At the time the order is entered into the computer, approval is immediate or declined. If declined the order is referred to the credit department.

Once the order is approved, it goes to the shipping department, either manually by paper work or electronically.

The order is then processed for shipping, either by company truck or by an outside carrier. All orders are segregated by shipping location.

If by company truck, orders are loaded by the routing sequence of the retailers location. Paper work is issued to the driver and as he/she makes the deliveries, the quantity is verified by the receipient and receiving paper signed. Any descrepancies are noted at that time. IE, shortages or damages.
If any freight charge is due, it is paid to the driver at time of delivery, or billed later to the dealer, if credit has been established. Sometimes freight is prepaid by the supplier and billed to the dealer on the invoice.
If shipments are made by a freight line, such as interstate, the trucks deliver goods to a warehouse or distributation center.

The above procedure is followed and deliveries made in the same manner by the freight company.

When a delivery is verified by signatures, the paper work or electronic notice is sent to the supplier. The order is then processed for billing or invoicing.

I hope this answers your question.
