Ordering Merchandise

Suppliers are responsible for determining quantities of merchandise delivered to the Iowa ABD warehouse for storage and must maintain no more than a 10-week inventory supply. For ease of warehouse operations, Iowa ABD requests that suppliers deliver merchandise in multiples of pallet or layer quantities when possible.

Iowa ABD requests that suppliers notify the Division of quantities, by code, being ordered for delivery to the Iowa ABD warehouse at least 48 hours in advance of shipment. Iowa ABD will then provide the supplier with an unloading reference number, or release number. Suppliers will furnish the carrier with the release number.

Iowa ABD requires that carriers contact the Iowa ABD Inventory Manager to obtain an unloading appointment time. The carrier should indicate the supplier and the Iowa ABD unloading reference number when scheduling the appointment. Carriers should call at least one week in advance to arrange the unloading time as unloading times are frequently booked seven to ten working days in advance. Trucks arriving without appointments and reference numbers will not be unloaded.
