Check In Lobster Receiver

Live lobsters arrive at the plant by the truck load - in individual crates or in pallet loads of crates.

Lobster plants purchase live lobsters from several sources:

Lobsters arriving by truck.

Accounting needs to know who the supplier is, the weight of each crate received, as well as the time and date. Typically, all of this information is recorded on a receipt and a copy of the receipt is given to the supplier. Payment follows immediately or may be delayed a few days, depending on the company policy.

Recordkeeping by hand-written forms is prone to errors and ommissions, both in the initial recording and in the transcription of data into the accounting system.

 Accurately recording lobsters received is essential to success for lobster processors because mistakes can be very costly, both in time and money. It is important that both the supplier and the plant have knowledge of, and accountability for, each and every delivery to the plant.

For Example

Mr. Rhyno, a regular supplier, has just unloaded 5 crates of lobster. The "end box" button (lower left) is pressed as each crate is weighted.

Pressing the "end lot" button (lower right) after the last crate has been removed from the scale, generates the final report, which is printed as a receipt for Mr. Rhyno, and is stored internally for transmission to the Accounting Department.
