Deviation handling
The deviation process can be defined as the process where deviations in the warehouse are detected and/or reported.
Output from the deviation process
Defective goods are reported.
Defective goods are returned to supplier.
Deviations in stock are reported.
Deviations in stock position are reported.
Deviations in the stock can be discovered and reported in many settings, for example during picking of goods, inventory or goods reception. These deviations may be caused by several reasons, for example defective goods, goods located incorrectly or deviations in type of goods. The course of action to correct the stock depends on the type of deviation. The course of action may be to send the defective goods back to the supplier or correct faulty inventory.
Tasks involved in this process

If there are any deviations in goods sent by the supplier, who you have a return agreement with, these will be the basis for a supplier return document.
