Question

True or False: The blind copy of the PO that goes to the receiving department contains no item descriptions?

Answer 1

The statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

In most supply chain and inventory management practices, the blind copy of a Purchase Order (PO) sent to the receiving department does usually contain item descriptions. The purpose of this document is to enable the receiving department to verify the items being delivered against what was ordered without reference to the quantities on the originating PO.

This helps in ensuring that the receiving personnel actually count and inspect the items they receive, instead of relying on the numbers stated in the PO, fostering an accuracy check against what was ordered.
