Welcome to Central Receiving. This User Guide serves as a source of instruction and reference to UTMB administrators, supervisors, and staff for uniform Central Receiving procedures.

The User Guide will walk you through the steps necessary to arrange for the receipt of items ordered by your department and follow-up on damaged or otherwise inappropriate merchandise.

Our services include:

• Receiving purchase orders shipped to our main Central Receiving dock at 14th and Strand, and creating a receipt in the PeopleSoft system based on packing slip information;
  
  
• Inspecting items if the shipping container is visibly damaged;
  
  
• Informing Delivery that items are ready to be delivered to the requesting department;
  
  
• Assisting with processing loss, shortage and damage claims and returns to the freight carriers and vendors;
  
• Assisting with the prompt payment of vendors.
  
  
• Routing all shipments (purchase order and non-purchase order shipments) received at our main dock.
