Standard Deadlines for Sending Approved Stock Orders (Provisions) Via eProcurement In Time To Allow Delivery On The Expected Delivery Day
All customers have a set delivery day for receiving stock orders from PaLS. In some instances, goods are delivered to “Receipt and Distribution points” for onward local distribution, therefore actual day when goods are received can differ from the Delivery day the goods are despatched by PaLS.
Your Delivery “cycle” number can be found on your Customer Issue Voucher (CIV) which accompanies your stock order.
