REPORT OF SHIPPING(ITEM) ANDPACKAGING DISCEPANCY.pdf

This Data Item Description (DID) details the Report of Shipping (Item) and Packaging Discrepancy (DD Form SF 364), a standardized form used by contractors to notify the government when freight contents do not match shipping documents. The document provides comprehensive instructions for completing the form, which is applicable when contractors receive government materials during defense contract performance.

The DID specifies precise guidelines for each section of the report, including how to enter information such as date of preparation, report number, shipper and consignee details, transportation document information, discrepancy codes, and action codes. Key preparation instructions include using specific codes to indicate the nature of shipping or packaging discrepancies, documenting item details like MSN/part numbers, quantities shipped and received, unit prices, and total costs, and providing remarks that explain the specific discrepancies encountered during shipment.
