Roles
Receiving Clerk
a warehouse professional who accepts incoming deliveries, checks them against purchase orders and packing slips and records the receipts
Your job, minus the screen work
You own the first hour of every delivery. You book the truck, check the seal, count pieces, sign, and note any shortage or damage. Then comes the paper: slips, bills of lading and certificates that all have to land on the right PO before anything gets received.
Where your week goes
- Answering carrier emails and portal requests and updating the dock spreadsheet
- Calling carriers about POs that closed after the appointment was booked
- Carrying paperwork from the dock to the desk and scanning it at shift end
- Renaming scanned files and dragging them into PO folders
- Chasing the certificate a supplier forgot to send
- Comparing slips to PO lines on screen, one line at a time
What an agent takes over
Appointment booking
Books slots against your dock calendar and carrier portals, and only for POs that are still open.
Document intake
Reads every slip, BOL and certificate from the scan folder or inbox and files it to the right PO.
Slip-to-PO check
Matches each slip line to its PO line by part, revision, unit and quantity, using exact rules.
Missing paperwork
Spots a missing certificate and sends the supplier request before you have to ask.

Counting, checking the seal and signing the delivery receipt
