## Deliverable 2B: PO Policy
**File:** `Business Plan/06-Vendor-Supply-Chain/PO-Policy.docx`
### Document Header
- Title: Purchase Order Policy and Procedures
- Entity: Otaku Haven LLC
- Effective Date: June 1, 2026
- Version: 1.0
### Required Sections
**1. Purpose**
State that this policy governs the creation, approval, and management of purchase orders for all inventory and vendor purchases at Otaku Haven LLC.
**2. Scope**
Applies to all staff with purchasing authority. Covers all vendors in the Master Vendor List and any new vendor relationships.
**3. Authorized PO Creators**
- Store Manager and Assistant Manager may create POs.
- Sales Associates and Key Holders may not create POs.
**4. Approval Thresholds**
Extract the dollar-amount approval thresholds from `Business Plan/05-Finance-and-Compliance/Cash-Management-Policy.docx` and apply them here so that thresholds are consistent. Use those exact values. If the Cash Management Policy defines a threshold for purchases requiring Managing Member approval, that same threshold applies to POs.
**5. PO Numbering Convention**
Define a numbering format. Suggested convention (use this unless Cash-Management-Policy specifies otherwise): `PO-YYYY-NNNN` (e.g., PO-2026-0001). Sequential within calendar year.
**6. Lead Time Expectations**
Define standard lead times for different vendor types (e.g., domestic distributors, specialty importers). Realistic ranges for anime retail: 3–7 business days for domestic distributors, 2–4 weeks for specialty or import vendors.
**7. Receiving Process**
Reference `SOP-007-Inventory-Receiving.docx` for the full receiving procedure. This Policy cross-references that SOP — do not duplicate it. State that all received shipments must be checked against the open PO before items are entered into Square for Retail.
**8. Discrepancy Handling**
Describe what to do when received goods don't match the PO (short shipments, wrong items, damaged goods): document on the Receiving Discrepancy form, notify vendor within 2 business days, hold discrepant items separate from accepted stock, await vendor resolution before closing PO.
**9. Xero Integration**
When a PO is fulfilled and accepted, the Store Manager records the vendor invoice in Xero under the appropriate expense categories from the Chart of Accounts. Reference the relevant accounts from `Business Plan/05-Finance-and-Compliance/Chart-of-Accounts.xlsx` by name (use the exact account names from that file for inventory and cost-of-goods expense lines).
**10. Record Retention**
POs and associated receiving documentation are retained for a minimum of 3 years, consistent with the Record Retention Policy.

## Deliverable 3: Receiving and Quality Control Guidelines
**File:** `Business Plan/06-Vendor-Supply-Chain/Receiving-QC-Guidelines.docx`
### Document Header
- Title: Receiving and Quality Control Guidelines
- Entity: Otaku Haven LLC
- Effective Date: June 1, 2026
- Version: 1.0
### Required Sections
**1. Purpose**
These guidelines govern the physical inspection and acceptance of inventory shipments. They supplement SOP-007 (Inventory Receiving) with detailed quality control criteria specific to anime retail products.
**2. Pre-Receiving Preparation**
- Pull the open PO from Square for Retail or the PO log before the delivery arrives.
- Confirm expected delivery date and vendor.
- Ensure a clear receiving area is prepared.
**3. Delivery Acceptance Procedure**
- Inspect outer packaging for visible damage before signing the carrier's delivery receipt.
- If outer cartons show significant damage, note it on the carrier's receipt before signing. Do not refuse delivery unless contents are clearly destroyed.
- Count cartons against the packing slip.
**4. Item-by-Item Verification**
- Open all cartons and verify each item against the PO: SKU, description, quantity.
- Record variances on a Receiving Discrepancy Note (describe the simple form — item, PO qty, received qty, variance).
- For high-value items (figures, statues, limited edition releases): open inner packaging to verify contents.
**5. Condition Inspection by Product Type**
Provide QC criteria for each product type:
- **Figures & Statues / Nendoroids / Funko Pop:** Check outer box for crushing, corner damage, moisture. Open if box shows damage. Inspect for broken parts or paint defects on high-value scale figures.
- **Manga & Light Novels:** Fan through books — check for water damage, torn pages, printing defects. Reject items with significant damage.
- **Apparel:** Verify sizes and styles against PO. Check for fabric defects or printing errors on sample items.
- **Trading Cards:** Verify sealed booster boxes and displays are intact and shrink-wrap is unbroken. Do not accept opened card product.
- **Media (Blu-ray, vinyl):** Check cases for cracks. Verify disc titles against PO. For vinyl, inspect sleeve corners.
- **Accessories / Home & Lifestyle:** Spot-check sample units for defects, missing components, or poor print quality.
- **Consignment items:** Follow SOP-011 (Vendor Consignment) for consignment-specific intake. These items are handled under a separate process.
**6. Discrepancy Documentation and Vendor Communication**
- All discrepancies (short shipments, wrong items, damaged goods) recorded in a Receiving Discrepancy Note.
- Store Manager or Assistant Manager notifies the vendor in writing (email) within 2 business days.
- Discrepant items held in a designated hold area — not shelved and not entered into Square inventory.
- Resolution options: vendor credit, replacement shipment, or return authorization.
**7. Square Inventory Entry**
- Only accepted items (verified and undamaged) are entered into Square for Retail inventory.
- Items entered under the correct SKU, category, and cost (consistent with the inventory valuation method in the Inventory Valuation Policy).
- PO is marked as received in the PO log once all items are accepted or discrepancies are resolved.
**8. Consignment Items**
Consignment items received from local creators follow SOP-011 (Vendor Consignment) and are tracked separately in Square under the Consignment category. These guidelines apply to the physical condition inspection only.

## Vendor Name Guidelines
All vendor names must be fictional but plausible for US-based anime/manga distribution. Suggested approach: use names that evoke import distribution or Japanese-American trade (e.g., "Pacific Arc Distribution," "Shōgun Import Group," "Midori Wholesale Co."). Do not use real company names. Do not use the names of actual anime distributors (e.g., not "Funimation," "Bandai Namco," "VIZ Media," "Right Stuf").
---
## Notes on Coherence
- The consignment revenue split you choose (60/40 Creator/Store as specified above) must be documented in `results.md` — a future intent will reference it in customer-facing materials.
- All role titles used in policy documents must match the reference data exactly: "Store Manager," "Assistant Manager," "Key Holder," "Sales Associate."
- The store address used everywhere is: **2847 S Lamar Blvd, Suite 105, Austin, TX 78704**.
- Systems referenced: **Square for Retail** (inventory), **Xero** (accounting), **Square Online** (e-commerce — reference only if relevant).
