What is the purpose of a Report of Discrepancy (SF-364)?

The purpose of a Report of Discrepancy (SF-364) is specifically to document all differences between the quantity of supplies ordered and the quantity actually received. This form is an essential tool in logistical management as it helps identify any discrepancies that may occur during the supply chain process. By clearly recording these differences, the SF-364 facilitates tracking issues, ensuring proper accountability, and enabling appropriate follow-up actions, whether that involves correcting orders, investigating errors, or addressing potential supplier issues. This documentation is vital to maintaining accurate inventory records and effective supply chain operations.
