Ecommerce warehousing and inventory control in Spain

Prepare stock for an ordinary inbound delivery

• Provide a consistent SKU catalogue, variants, dimensions and weights.
• Pre-advise the delivery and supply the agreed documentation and quantities.
• Identify and package goods according to the validated operating profile.
• Confirm inbound frequency, pallet count, expected stock and any handling requirements.

How PEA storage is counted

One PEA uses a reference capacity of 1.20 × 0.80 × 1.40 m. An occupied standard position counts as 1 PEA even if it is partly empty. Fractions of 0.25 PEA apply only after physical consolidation releases the corresponding space.

Excess storage is calculated from positive daily excess occupancy averaged over the relevant period under the contract. Blocked stock, returns and client materials count while occupying capacity.

A practical storage example

Illustrative assumption: one SKU occupies a standard position and half the units are picked. If the remaining goods still occupy that position, it continues to count as 1 PEA. Selling half the units does not automatically halve the storage charge; physical consolidation and released space determine the revised count.

Inventory, receipts and plan capacity

SKU, PEA and inbound receipts have separate limits. The monthly pallet allowance follows from the number of receipts and the maximum of two standard pallets per ordinary receipt. An ordinary receipt covers up to two standard pallets per event within the plan’s monthly allowance. Full unit counts, sorting or corrective work outside ordinary receiving must be agreed separately.

Opening inventory is reconciled before order processing starts. Stock differences and goods that cannot be released for sale follow the agreed incident workflow.
