Automated PO Receiving (Pilot) and Supporting PO Tooling

When goods arrived, a warehouse person received the PO by hand: download the packing slip, read it, log into the warehouse system, find the PO, and type in every size and quantity, tedious and error-prone on multi-split orders where totals had to be summed by hand. Separately, attaching the printable PO PDF to the project board meant logging into the ERP (including 2FA by hand), printing to PDF, and uploading it one PO at a time.

Designed a receiving workflow that reads packing-slip quantities, standardizes size labels, sums split shipments, and prepares the warehouse receiving step around the actual PO. The same operating model also captures the printable PO and attaches it to the shared tracking record so teams do not have to chase documents manually.

The pilot reduced a manual receiving path that typically took 10-15 minutes to a guided processing flow of roughly 30-40 seconds. It proved especially useful on split shipments, where totals need to be combined correctly before inventory is received. The workflow is best presented as a validated pilot direction for reducing warehouse receiving errors and document-chasing, not as a fully scaled production program.
