When to use this form
Use this form when you need to authorize goods to leave storage and document chain of custody. It suits warehouse managers, 3PLs, and fulfillment teams handling carrier pickups, will-call orders, inter-warehouse transfers, returns to vendor, or QA sample pulls. Capture who is collecting the items, what is being released (SKU, lot, serials), where it sits, and the condition at hand-off. It helps reduce disputes, speed dock operations, and prove compliance during audits. For high-value or serialized items, pair it with the Asset verification form to confirm IDs before release. The result: clear approvals, accurate manifests, and a clean record of responsibility.
Must Ask Warehouse Release Questions
- Who is the authorized recipient or carrier?
Verifying the recipient's legal name, company, and ID prevents wrong-party releases and theft. It also ties the hand-off to a specific driver or contact for audit and claims.
- Which items are being released (SKU, description, quantity, lot/serial)?
Listing SKU, description, quantity, and lot/serial numbers sets the exact scope of the release. This keeps inventory accurate and avoids partial or duplicate hand-offs.
- What is the storage location and condition at hand-off?
Noting bin/rack, pallet ID, seal number, and condition at the dock creates a clear chain of custody. It reduces damage disputes and supports insurance claims.
- What approval reference and time authorize this release?
Capturing the order, RA, or internal approval plus date and time creates a traceable authorization trail. Time stamps help prove you met SLAs and cutoff windows.
- Are there any holds, liens, or ownership issues?
Confirm whether the goods have any holds, liens, or quality blocks, and who cleared them. When needed, reference your Asset declaration form to verify ownership or custodial rights.
