What does the Inbound Receive process involve?

• A. Informing the Amazon network that items have arrived and recording unit, source location, and quantity.
• B. Verifying items against the appointment.
• C. Decanting cartons into totes.
• D. Stowing items into bins.

Answer: (A)

Inbound Receive is the step where the arrival is acknowledged in the system and essential data about what came in is captured. The best description is that you inform the network that items have arrived and record the unit, its source location, and the quantity. This creates a receipt in the system and starts the next steps in processing, like putaway.

Other actions belong to different parts of the inbound workflow. Verifying items against an appointment can occur as part of check-in but is not the defining action of the receive step. Decanting cartons into totes and stowing items into bins happen after the receipt data is captured—decanting is a handling/segregation activity and putaway into storage locations occurs later.
