Evaluate storage, inventory records, batch preparation and subsequent delivery arrangements around the stocking cycle.
Inventory and batch delivery coordination: what do we coordinate?
When the purchased goods arrive one after another, or the Ukrainian side needs to receive the goods in stages, storage and batch shipment can be evaluated. This type of arrangement places greater emphasis on inventory lists, batch identification, and ongoing outbound planning. We first agreed on what to check when receiving the goods, how to identify each batch, and what records are needed before shipping. Then we discussed the requirements for sorting, repackaging, palletizing, and distribution by address. Specific storage conditions, acceptable periods, fees and product restrictions must be confirmed separately. For products with special storage requirements, the receiving conditions must be verified first before deciding whether they can be included in the overall plan.
Temporary storage of received items can be discussed while awaiting arrival from other sellers or your inspection decision. Storage periods, fees and availability conditions need to be confirmed in advance, and receipt restrictions for special or sensitive products must be checked first.

Inventory list and batch allocation
When shipping in batches, first clarify the goods received and the quantity that needs to be reserved for the next batch. The allocation of each order is confirmed by you, and the recording format and verification steps before picking up the goods are agreed in advance with the relevant operator.
03
Preparation for shipment of subsequent batches
Recheck the quantity, packaging, address and Ukrainian delivery conditions before shipping each batch. It is up to you to approve the cargo composition and additional operations, and then confirm applicable transportation and handover arrangements based on final weight and dimensions.
Six steps after the goods arrive at the warehouse
Implement warehouse operations item by item around the needs of cargo delivery. The content, cost and time of additional work will be confirmed separately.
01
Arrival registration
Check the parcels arriving at the warehouse based on the order information you provided, and register the arrival status and number of pieces.
02
Photography and appearance inspection
Take photos of products and packaging within the agreed scope and check the visible appearance. This service is not a substitute for functional testing, certification or professional quality assessment.
03
Domestic returns and exchanges coordination
Provide timely feedback when discrepancies are discovered and assist you in communicating with Chinese suppliers. The availability of returns and exchanges and specific conditions are subject to confirmation by the supplier.
04
Temporary storage
Wait for the agreed date or other orders to arrive at the warehouse. The storage period and possible storage fees must be stated in advance.
05
Consolidation and packaging
After your confirmation, orders will be combined, repackaged or reinforced, and packaging will be arranged based on the characteristics of the goods and the requirements of the carrier.
06
Arrange delivery
After confirming the cargo preparation status and shipping conditions, coordination will be handed over to the carrier and the available shipping information will be provided.
How to distinguish between inventory, outbound approval and actual delivery?
Approval of shipment does not mean that the goods have been handed over to the carrier. When shipping in batches, the physical quantity in the warehouse, approved shipment details and actual handover vouchers should be recorded separately, and then the remaining goods should be checked accordingly.
This example is only used to explain the recording method and is not a real customer case, real-time inventory or online tracking service commitment.

What happened
What needs to be recorded
Physical quantity in warehouse
Received 10 boxes
Associate case numbers to orders and record any discrepancies found.
10 boxes.
Approved 4 boxes for shipment
Indicate the specific box number, consignee, instruction version and approver.
Still 10 boxes: Approval does not mean it has been removed from the warehouse.
4 boxes actually delivered to the carrier
Check handover quantities with available handover credentials.
If there are no other arrivals or changes, 6 boxes remain.
There are 2 boxes in the remaining goods to be verified
Mark these 2 boxes separately and confirm the handling method before deciding whether to ship.
The physical items are still 6 boxes, only 4 of which do not have this pending discrepancy.
What information should be reconfirmed before shipping the next batch?
Do not directly use the outbound approval from the previous batch. The current inventory, cargo status, new batch details, consignee and final packaging parameters should be checked, and then the shipping conditions and costs of this batch should be confirmed.
Warehousing billing starting point, billing unit and agreed next review date.
Box number, quantity and unit of measurement; number of items and boxes should be recorded separately.
Unboxing, repacking, new weight and dimensions and related handling charges.
Approve the instruction version, receiving contact person, handover credentials and remaining goods after operation.
During the temporary storage of equipment and accessories, how to record the quantity arriving at the warehouse, to be processed, and the quantity shipped out of the warehouse, and to confirm the storage billing, collection conditions, and batch shipping instructions to avoid treating the arrival at the warehouse as ready for shipment.
When receiving Chinese equipment and accessories in Ukraine, the box number, outer packaging, unpacking sequence and exception list are used to connect the shipping and receipt records to facilitate all parties to verify the next step.
