Study sheets for this course
Download them to study on paper, away from the phone.
Two readings a day is the minimum. Any point outside the band is an excursion: quarantine the stock and report it.
Every item is counted twice: once at receiving, once at dispatch. A count that does not match stops the truck, not the paperwork.
Cash in minus cash out equals profit — only if every line is written the same day it happens.
