What does 'no over-goods' mean in practice?

• A. Missing items
• B. More items than planned
• C. Incorrect packaging
• D. Missing labels

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is quantity control in receiving goods. No over-goods means you should not accept more items than what was specified in the order or packing list. In practice, it’s about matching the received quantity to the planned quantity; any excess is considered an overage. For example, if an order calls for 200 units and 210 are delivered, that extra 10 units constitutes over-goods and needs to be investigated, reconciled with the supplier, or handled according to policy rather than being treated as part of the normal shipment. Missing items would indicate a shortfall, not an overage. Incorrect packaging concerns how items are packaged rather than how many items there are, and missing labels relates to labeling issues rather than quantity.
