SUPPLIER PAPERWORK QUALITY REQUIREMENTS Packing Slips, Invoices, Bill of Ladings February 2018
Regal Suppliers: Accuracy of your Packing Lists and Invoices is critical to timely processing of your receipts and payment of your invoices. Missing or incomplete information on packing lists can result in delaying the receiving process or receiving your shipment under an incorrect part number. This can lead to quality and inventory issues and can interrupt the 3-Way Match Process. Incomplete invoices also interrupt timely processing of your payments. Regal has implemented use of our 8D Incident Reporting Process to notify Suppliers with repetitive Paperwork issues. To prevent delays in processing your shipments, issuing your payments and Incidents appearing on your Scorecard, please audit your packing slips and invoices to the requirements included in guide.
