Which of the following is NOT one of the four basic functions in warehouse/distribution activities?

Stocking
Receiving
Supply
Order Processing

The correct answer is: Supply

The function identified as not one of the four basic functions in warehouse or distribution activities is supply. The four basic functions typically recognized in warehouse and distribution settings include receiving, stocking, order processing, and shipping. Receiving involves the intake of goods into the warehouse, ensuring that the right products are delivered and checking them against purchase orders. Stocking refers to the organization and storage of goods within the warehouse so that they can be easily accessed. Order processing is the task of fulfilling customer orders, which includes picking, packing, and preparing items for shipment. Supply, while an essential aspect of the overall supply chain management, refers more broadly to the procurement and management of inventory rather than a specific warehouse function. Thus, it does not fall within the core activities typically associated with a warehouse or distribution center.
