Frequently Asked Questions
A material receiving log creates a documented record of what was delivered, when, in what condition, and whether it matches the purchase order and approved submittals. This documentation protects you in disputes with suppliers, supports pay application stored materials claims, and ensures specification compliance.
At minimum, verify quantities match the packing slip and PO, check for visible damage, confirm the material matches the approved submittal (manufacturer, model, color, size), and verify proper storage instructions. The template provides a checklist for each inspection point.
Document the damage with photos immediately upon delivery, note it on the carrier's delivery receipt, notify the supplier within the contract-required timeframe, and track the replacement order. The damage inspection section captures all required documentation for claims.
