Should goods receive count in palletized form or by unit?
It is typically best to count the goods by unit (e.g., by individual items or by cartons) rather than by pallet. This is because the number of items or cartons on a pallet may vary, and counting by pallet may not give an accurate count of the goods received. Instead, the pallets should be unloaded and the individual items or cartons should be counted to ensure an accurate count of the goods received.
If the goods are received in palletized form, the number of pallets should still be recorded on the receive note for reference. However, the actual count of the goods should be based on the individual items or cartons.
By counting the goods by unit, you can ensure an accurate count of the goods received and minimize the risk of errors or discrepancies.
