This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that provides detailed instructions for completing Standard Form 364 "Report of Shipping (Item) and Packaging Discrepancy." The document (DI-MGMT-80503) enables contractors to notify the Government when freight contents do not match shipping documents and supports property/financial inventory accounting and claims documentation.

The DID outlines specific preparation requirements for SF 364, including how to indicate discrepancy types, date formats, report numbering conventions using DODAAC codes, and detailed instructions for completing each field. Key sections cover shipping information, transportation documents, discrepancy codes, quantities received vs. billed, unit pricing, and required supplemental documentation. The form is used when contractors receive Government materiel during defense contract performance and must report shipping or packaging discrepancies. The document includes a sample SF 364 form and provides comprehensive guidance for documenting and reporting shipping and packaging issues to ensure proper handling of discrepancies between shipped and received items.
