If the shortage is noticed at the time of delivery, insist the driver note the shortage on both your copy and his copy of the freight bill. Prepare a partial receipt and forward to Central Receiving. A copy of the MSDS is sent to Fire and Safety in campus mail. If by error the material comes through Central Receiving the package is not opened except to obtain the packing slip and the material is sent immediately to the department. If there is a discrepancy, notify Central Receiving immediately upon discovery.
Every effort is made to obtain the correct material and to return wrong material to the vendor.
This involves coordinating with the Procurement Officer, the department, and the vendor. If wrong material is received the Procurement Officer will make arrangements for the vendor to exchange the material. When material is sent to Central Receiving that should have been sent to the department, Central Receiving will deliver the material to the department with the next scheduled delivery. Personal packages will be rejected by Central Receiving. Do not have anything of a personal nature shipped to Central Receiving or the Central Warehouse.
