Acceptance of goods. Let's check the gross weight, net weight and quantity

What's new can tell about the acceptance of goods ina retail store? Virtually nothing for those who have long been working in the trade. But entrepreneurs who have decided to open their small business, perhaps, will use this information.

Before you sell something, you need to buy something,while in the process of acquiring goods a very important stage is the moment of its adoption. At this stage, the buyer, checking the names, the number of items, the net weight and gross weight and other indicators, can (and should) identify any possible inconsistency of the goods received in the supplier's accompanying document.

On how thoroughly and correctly willthe work on product acceptance has been carried out, the settlements with suppliers and the settlement of the disagreements that have arisen, as well as certain points of the further sale of the goods, depend.

The acceptance procedure is a cornerstonestone in the relationship between the buyer and the supplier. The duty of each supplier is to deliver the goods to the buyer in the proper quality and quantity, and this duty is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. But there are no single standards regulating the acceptance of products in all emerging situations and for all subjects of economic activity, as well as a single mechanism of this procedure. This means that the acceptance rules may vary depending on the terms of the contract, the method of delivery, the type of goods and even its packaging. Let's consider some situations arising in this case.

Unattended goods

In this case, the number of packages and gross weightcheck immediately after their delivery to the store in the presence of accompanying persons (drivers, freight forwarders, etc.), while the marketable products are recalculated, weighed, re-measured in the same measuring units as indicated in the invoices or invoices.

If there is no discrepancy, the materially responsiblethe person of the host party puts a stamp and his signature on the invoices or other accompanying documents. From this moment, the responsibility for the goods passes to the buyer.

Sometimes during acceptance it turns out that either weightgross, or the amount does not match the data specified in the documents. In this case, an act of shortage or surplus is drawn up and a mark is made in the invoice or invoice. The act is signed by the store employees and the person accompanying the goods. The responsibility for the shortage or surplus is borne by the deliverers.

It happens that stuffed goods enter the storewith traces of breaking, breakage, attempts of opening. In this case, there may be a shortage, and the gross weight this often shows during weighing. Goods with broken packaging are equated with non-packaged items and are accepted with a check of each package in all respects.

Discontinued goods

Goods in intact, serviceable containers are usuallyare accepted in two terms. Immediately upon admission, the gross weight and the number of seats are checked, the accompanying documents state that the goods were accepted without opening the container.

Further acceptance is carried out by members of the commission of the store during the opening of the packing places, but not later than 10 days from the date of receipt.

Check the number of items and net weightWithin each package, if there is any discrepancy with the accompanying documents, an act is made, which is signed by the members of the commission.

In this situation, the provider should callresolve the issue within 24 hours. Further, in the presence of the representative of the supplier, and in case of his absence in the presence of the representative of the post-office organization, a full check (gross and net weight, the number of units) and the identified shortage or excess is drawn up by a bilateral act.

The acts are drawn up in triplicate and together withaccompanying documents, as well as the certificate and the power of attorney of representatives, are passed on to the legal adviser who must file a claim with the suppliers within 10 days.

Thus, timely and correct acceptance of goods with the preparation of proper documents is very important and can save you from financial losses.
