How to outbound products

Outbounding is performed whenever there are products that are damaged, expired, or their conditions don’t hit Flink’s threshold for saleable products. This page will show you what to do for each scenario where you need to outbound products.

Instructions

Outbounding is done in the following situations

You should outbound products for the following reasons

  • The product is expired/damaged

  • The product doesn’t meet Flink’s standards for saleable products:

    • See guidelines for fruits and veggies here

    • Guidelines for dry products: any product that presents any clearly visible damage that makes it unappealing to sell/damaged enough to alter the product inside. For example, a dented/open/ripped/wet box, a damaged label, and so forth.

  • You receive bakery products early in the morning, sell as much as possible, and then in the evening you outbound them.

  • You have an equipment breakdown and need to remove the affected stock (Be sure to check with hub leadership first!)

  • The hub had a break-in, and products were stolen (Be sure to check with hub leadership first!)

  • Due to a product recall

  • Bakery ingredients/materials to return
