1. [ ] **Prerequisites — required before collection:** Have the signed inventory and an assigned pickup slot. Evidence: inventory reference and signature present; assigned slot record. If either is missing, the stated prerequisites are not met: do not start collection.
2. [ ] Count every item together with the sender. Compare each count with the inventory. Evidence: item identifier, inventory quantity, joint count and difference.
3. [ ] Photograph every damaged item. Evidence: damaged item identifier and photo reference.
4. [ ] **Decision — any count difference:** Stop signing and refer the discrepancy to the coordinator. The coordinator must reconcile it before signing resumes. Evidence: discrepancy, referral, coordinator's reconciliation and outcome. Do not treat referral alone as reconciliation.
5. [ ] When there is no difference, both receiver and sender sign. For a discrepancy case, sign only after the coordinator has reconciled it. Evidence: both signatures and, where applicable, the reconciliation record.
6. [ ] Receiver stores one copy; sender stores another. Evidence: receiver copy location and sender copy location or storage confirmation.
7. [ ] **Transport stop — damaged electrical items must not be transported.** Evidence: affected item identifiers, damage photo references and a record that those items were not transported. This restriction still applies when counts match and signatures are complete.

Decision tree in prose: Before collection, check the signed inventory and pickup slot. If either is absent, collection cannot begin. Otherwise count with the sender, compare with the inventory and photograph damage. If counts differ, stop signing, refer to the coordinator and wait for reconciliation before signing. If counts match, both sign. Retain one copy each. Independently of the count decision, do not transport damaged electrical items.

Helpful suggestion: A colored folder may make the copies easier to find. It is optional; no evidence of folder color is required.

Evidence record fields: inventory reference; prerequisite signature present; assigned pickup slot; receiver and sender identifiers; item identifier; inventory quantity; joint count; difference; damage description; photograph reference; coordinator referral; reconciliation and outcome; receiver signature; sender signature; receiver copy location; sender copy location/confirmation; damaged electrical item not transported.

These fields organize evidence for the stated controls; the procedure does not specify a form, retention period, who signs the prerequisite inventory, the reconciliation method, or disposal/repair arrangements. Do not invent those requirements.
