Public Warehouse Service Canada & Public Storage

Goods are allowed to enter public warehouses only after the owners or shipping companies obtain the necessary permits and submit the required documents. After passing through the guard control, the goods are admitted and checked for accuracy and completeness. In case of any discrepancies, a meeting is scheduled to resolve the issue. If everything is in order, the goods are sorted and stored in the appropriate location within the warehouse.

Upon the arrival of goods, suitable storage locations are designated according to warehousing standards and documented in the storage management system. Once the delivery process is complete, the warehouse receipt is issued to the owner of the goods or their legal representative.

When goods need to be removed from the warehouse, the necessary steps should be taken, and the encoder should track the collection of goods from the warehouse and transfer them to the delivery point, based on the receipt issued when the goods were delivered.

Additionally, an export license is issued to the warehouse at this stage.

Goods are loaded onto transportation vehicles after exportation. If the owner requests packing, the goods are packed before loading. Information about the downloaded goods is provided in the form of an invoice, app, or other relevant documentation.

Proper layout of storage racks is crucial to ensure efficient insertion and movement of goods in the warehouse. The layout should be designed to protect goods from damage and enable easy and quick access. Various layout options can be used based on the warehouse type and goods. Implementing suitable software such as benchmark accounting software can help optimize the entry and exit of goods.

The layout of a 3PL warehouse is based on various factors such as the weight and type of goods, historical use, and stacking on storage racks using barcodes. The warehouse layout is typically organized with Latin letters and can also involve mechanized warehouses. The specific approach varies depending on the type of material and warehouse, with the ultimate goal of achieving speed and accuracy in storage operations.

The advancement in technology has revolutionized storage processes, replacing manual data entry with accounting software and introducing modern methods like advanced robots and warehouse management systems. These techniques not only increase efficiency and accuracy but also solve challenges like worker shortage, human errors, and reduce costs while improving inventory management.

The accounting principles of warehousing encompass various accounting procedures that define the inventory of the store. The inventory operation involves calculating the sum of stock inventory, rather than just the number or quantity of products and raw materials.

This accounting process is typically conducted at the end of the financial period, which is usually a year for most organizations. However, the frequency of inventory processes may vary depending on the accounting standards, with some organizations carrying out inventory processes every 3 or 6 months. Regular accounting of goods and warehouses is crucial to prevent potential losses.

The storage industry involves physically controlling storage space and conducting manual inventory operations. Inventory management is a common method of controlling inventory, aiming to monitor goods entering and leaving the warehouse more precisely. At least once a year, inventory operations must be carried out according to the rules of storage, and there must be at least one administrator in stock.

Inventory management provides several benefits to organizations, including accurate recording of financial figures, reducing errors in accounting and warehousing, separating waste and non-consumable inventory, and creating order in storage. Additionally, inventory control can prevent excessive stockpiling, prevent losses due to expired or price-changing goods, and avoid duplicated order registration. To carry out inventory operations, necessary forms, tools, and counting materials must be provided, and trained personnel must be appointed for the process. In conclusion, modern warehouse management techniques, warehouse layout, delivery, inventory management, and accounting are all crucial factors that contribute to the accuracy and efficiency of warehouse operations.
