    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If the ALA Receiver finds that the quantities or identities on the Packing Slip do not match the Goods received, they will indeed go to the Shortages/Damages Section in this A-Way and follow the specific instructions provided there. This suggests that the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Goods Received from UPS, FedEx, LTL or our own trucks - all are received into Eclipse in the same way.

    • Never

    • Always, yes

    • Frequently

    • Sometimes

    Correct Answer
    A. Always, yes
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer "Always, yes" is that regardless of the source of the goods (UPS, FedEx, LTL, or our own trucks), they are all received into the Eclipse system in the same manner. This suggests that the company has a standardized process for receiving goods, regardless of the delivery method.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Goods get to the ALA warehouse via:

    • Truck lines, LTL, Common Carrier - all terms for independent trucking outfits

    • UPS

    • FedEx

    • Our own trucks - picking up (will calls) each day

    • All of the above!

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above!
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above!" because the question asks how goods get to the ALA warehouse and all the options listed - truck lines, LTL, Common Carrier, UPS, FedEx, and their own trucks - are valid ways for goods to be transported to the warehouse.

  • 5. 

    For items addressed to individual employees you should always open the package before delivering to the employee.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    It is not necessary to open packages addressed to individual employees before delivering them. Opening someone else's mail without their permission is a violation of privacy. As a delivery person, your role is to ensure that the package reaches the intended recipient in its original condition. If there are any concerns about the package's contents or if it appears damaged, it is best to notify the recipient and let them decide whether or not to open it.

    • True

    • False

    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true. When entering information into Eclipse, the process starts with the "Purchase" screen and then moves to the "Stock Receipts Entry" tab. In this tab, the ALA Receiver verifies that the identity and quantity mentioned in the Packing Slip match the details mentioned in our Purchase Order.

    Even if  Goods from a LTL delivery seems in good condition (no damage), sign for it as follows:

    • Just with your name, no title

    • Write "Material subject to inspection", then sign it

    • Sign with an alias

    • Do not sign for it

    Correct Answer
    A. Write "Material subject to inspection", then sign it
    Explanation
    When receiving goods from a less than truckload (LTL) delivery, it is important to sign for it with the statement "Material subject to inspection" and then sign it. This is because even if the goods appear to be in good condition with no damage, there may still be hidden issues or damage that is not immediately visible. By signing with this statement, it allows for further inspection and evaluation of the goods to ensure their quality and condition.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Once goods have been Received:

    • 1. Receiver job is done

    • 2. Stock material should be put on a cart and placed in the stock isle to be put away

    • 3. Non-stock material is assigned a location in Eclipse and Location Status Field is marked "Floating". BE SURE TO SAVE before exiting the Receiver Screen. Then, write the location clearly on the Goods so they will be put away properly.

    • 4. Reciever should ask for assistance from supervisor if any doubt about how to handle non-stock material. This will avoid errors and wasted time later.

    • 5. Items 2, 3 and 4 above

    Correct Answer
    A. 5. Items 2, 3 and 4 above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5 because it includes all the steps that should be followed once goods have been received. The receiver's job is not done after receiving the goods, they need to put the stock material on a cart and place it in the stock aisle. Non-stock material should be assigned a location in Eclipse and marked as "Floating" in the Location Status Field. The receiver should also ask for assistance from a supervisor if they have any doubts about handling non-stock material to avoid errors and wasted time later. Therefore, the correct answer is 5, which includes all these steps.

    Receiving Goods into the ALA warehouse accurately is critical because:

    • Customers may be waiting for it

    • Errors in Receiving create more errors in other warehouse functions

    • Errors in Receiving causes errors and wastes time for Kathy in Purchasing and Lisha in Accounts Payable

    • Errors in Receiving create errors and wasted time in inventory control

    • Every single one of the above!

    Correct Answer
    A. Every single one of the above!
    Explanation
    Receiving goods into the ALA warehouse accurately is critical because it affects multiple aspects of the warehouse operations and other departments. Customers may be waiting for the goods, so any errors in receiving can lead to delays and dissatisfaction. Additionally, errors in receiving can create a domino effect, causing more errors in other warehouse functions. This not only wastes time but also increases the likelihood of mistakes in inventory control. Furthermore, errors in receiving also impact the work of Kathy in Purchasing and Lisha in Accounts Payable, as they may have to deal with discrepancies and spend extra time resolving them.

    Any UPS or FedEx cartons that show damage should be  _________.

    Correct Answer
    Refused
    Explanation
    If any UPS or FedEx cartons show damage, they should be refused. This means that the recipient should not accept the package and should instead notify the delivery company that the package is damaged and should be returned. This is important because accepting a damaged package could result in receiving broken or unusable items, and refusing the package ensures that the sender is aware of the damage and can take appropriate action to resolve the issue.

  • 12. 

    UPS and FedEx deliveries must be verified (carton quantities) just AFTER you sign for them.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because UPS and FedEx deliveries should be verified for carton quantities before signing for them. It is important to check the number of cartons received and compare it with the delivery note or packing slip to ensure that all items have been delivered correctly. By verifying the carton quantities before signing, any discrepancies or missing items can be addressed immediately with the delivery driver or the shipping company. This helps to avoid any potential issues or disputes regarding the delivery.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    If the ALA Receiver confirms that the quantities and the identities of the goods on the Packing Slip are identical to the Goods Received, he/she:

    • Alerts the driver

    • He/she continues with the Receiving process

    • Tells the Warehouse Supervisor

    • Circles the quantity in Red

    Correct Answer
    A. Circles the quantity in Red
    Explanation
    When the ALA Receiver confirms that the quantities and identities of the goods on the Packing Slip are identical to the Goods Received, he/she circles the quantity in red. This is likely done as a visual indication to highlight that the quantity has been verified and matches the information on the packing slip. It serves as a way to easily identify that this step has been completed and helps to ensure accuracy in the receiving process.
