Catch-weight receiving + shrink variance: weigh at the door, weigh it again later
You pay by invoice weight and sell by actual weight. Cases arriving 2% light cost you 2% of your meat and produce spend before the box is opened — and storage shrink quietly takes more. This sheet computes both, with claim evidence attached.
What's inside
Catch-weight receiving
- Invoice weight vs received weight, variance in kg, % and money
- Your own tolerance % — the sheet flags anything outside it
- Tiles: total value variance, deliveries light by more than 2%
- Enough evidence per row to open a supplier claim conversation
Storage shrink
- Weigh in, weigh out — shrink % computed per batch
- Expected-shrink threshold is YOUR number from your own data, not a made-up benchmark
- Flags anything above your expected line for investigation
- Notes column for temp, wrap and humidity — the usual suspects
The file solves the format. The discipline is the hard part.
ShelfLifePro captures catch weights at receiving, runs weight checks, and flags per-supplier variance automatically.
