Incoming goods inspection
The incoming goods inspection is a quality control within the framework of procurement logistics , which includes the inspection of delivered goods before they are booked as incoming goods .
General
Production and trade require goods ( raw materials , consumables and supplies , semi-finished products , finished products ) that they have to procure for further processing or resale . After their delivery , a check is carried out with regard to their quantity and product quality , which are compared with the order or the order on the basis of the unloading confirmation or the delivery note . This control can - depending on the quantity of the purchased goods - be carried out as a random sample or as a total survey . After the inspection, the goods procured through the purchase of goods are booked in the incoming goods department, which precedes any further internal processing.
tasks
The task of the incoming goods inspection is to check all ordered materials and goods for compliance with the shipping documents . It measures, weighs, counts and examines the goods, takes samples and, if necessary, carries out a material test . The incoming goods inspection should also ensure safe food . The food retail sector , the catering or canteens must not accept goods that pose a physical, chemical or biological hazard in case of suspicion. The hygienic condition , perfect packaging , best-before date or use-by date or uninterrupted frozen food chain are of particular importance.
Legal issues
Merchants are even legally obliged to inspect incoming goods. If the purchase is a commercial sale for both parties , the buyer must examine the goods immediately after delivery by the seller , insofar as this is feasible in the ordinary course of business, and, if a defect becomes apparent , notify the seller immediately ( § 377 Paragraph 1 HGB ). The investigation must be carried out to the extent and in such a manner as is necessary to determine the existence of defects. This obligation applies to him in principle regardless of whether it is a defective delivery in the true sense or whether the seller has delivered goods other than the stipulated goods - i.e. an Aliud . If the goods are intended for resale, the duty to examine and notify is postponed until the end user has taken the goods into use. The buyer is obliged to carry out the examination with professional care . According to commercial law, the buyer only owes representative random samples in order to meet his incoming goods inspection obligations.
Since January 1, 2006, the Food Hygiene Ordinance on Food Safety has been applicable. According to Article 1 (1b) of this regulation, food safety must be guaranteed at all stages of the food chain, including primary production . According to Art. 5 of the ordinance, the food business operator is obliged to set up, implement, maintain and continuously adapt an HACCP self-control system. Appropriate evidence must be provided to the food control authority . According to Section 5, Paragraph 1 of the LFGB, it is prohibited to produce or treat food for others in such a way that its consumption is harmful to health.
