The order, before the lorry arrives
This is where what you ordered meets what actually arrived — and what you receive is what gets paid for. Hoda, in procurement, turns approved needs into purchase orders, and the delivery is checked against the order, line by line.
Each order carries its number, its value in pounds, and its status. The status is the thing to read first — it tells you whether this is a draft, a firm committed order, or goods already in.
The lines you count against
Open an order and you see its line items: the porcelain floor tile, the ceramic wall tile, each with the quantity that was committed to the vendor.
Counting the delivery
When the lorry arrives, you do not sign for ‘a delivery’. You count each line against the order — what landed, not what was promised.
That count is the goods received note, and it is the document Mostafa values and invoices against. Sign for what you did not count and the studio pays for what it never received.
Partial deliveries are normal and expected. A lorry arrives with part of the order, the count is logged against it, and the order stays open until the last box lands.
Every purchase is then traceable — from the order, to each delivery, to the final count — all in the one record.
The habit that matters
One habit worth building: count before you sign, every line, every time. A goods received note that says what was actually unloaded is the only protection against paying for air.
