Explanation
Upon receiving goods, it is important to check against the supplier's invoice for piece count and damages. This step ensures that the correct number of items has been received and that there are no damages or discrepancies. By comparing the goods received with the supplier's invoice, any errors or issues can be identified and addressed promptly.

Explanation
Upon receiving notification of arrival of a shipment, the next step is to initiate a request to the Finance Department for issuance of payment to cover duties and taxes. This is necessary because duties and taxes are typically required to be paid before the shipment can be released and delivered. By initiating the request for payment, the necessary funds can be allocated and the payment process can be initiated in a timely manner, ensuring that the shipment can be cleared and delivered without any delays.
