What is Outgoing goods?

Goods issue is the interface between internal and external materials management. Within the scope of goods issue, the company (producer, trader, reseller) provides its customers with raw materials and stocks as well as semi-finished products (for further processing into production management) or safe finished products in trade. The basic tasks of the goods issue include the delivery of goods from the warehouse, identity and quality control, preparation of accompanying documents and waybills, waybills, picking, packing, loading (production management) or sale by handover (trade) within the framework of the operation functions. The issuance of goods helps to reduce the risk of storage and capital commitment.

In its 2004 edition, the European standard EN 10204, like its predecessor EN 10204: 1995, defines different types of inspection certificates that can be provided to the customer for the supply of metal products, as agreed at the time of ordering.

The German adoption of the standard as DIN EN 10204, Metallic products – Types of test certificates (2004), was published in January 2005.

The content of the factory certificate is the confirmation of conformity with its order, indicating the results of non-specific testing. The certificate is confirmed by the manufacturer.
