1 case = 12 cartons
72 cartons received
01Build the order
Build the purchase around the supplier’s pack size and your location’s needs. Keep the expected unit quantity visible so the person ordering and the person receiving agree on what is coming.
Eight cases on the order means 96 cartons expected.

02Check the delivery
When only six of eight cases arrive, record those six against the order. Keep the remaining two visible, and retain notes about shortages or supplier changes with the purchase.
72 cartons received; 24 cartons still due.

03Count before the next buy
At the next stock check, record what is actually on the shelf. Review the counted quantity alongside stock already incoming before deciding how much more to order.
A physical count and an open PO both inform the next buy.
