Step 1: Goods Arrival 
The process begins when a shipment of materials arrives at your company's warehouse or facility.

Step 2: Goods Inspection 
Inspect the received goods to ensure they match the order details and are in good condition.

Step 3: Goods Receipt in System 
In your company's inventory or procurement system, record the receipt of the materials. This confirms that the goods have physically arrived.

Step 4: Automated Material Recognition 
Sophisticated software or algorithms recognize the received materials based on various attributes like shape, size, weight, and perhaps barcodes or RFID tags.

Step 5: Matching with Purchase Orders 
The system compares the received materials with existing purchase orders to identify any mismatches, such as quantities, item codes, or prices.
