> The receiving and intake of goods into a warehouse, distribution center, or logistics facility from external sources.

The receiving and intake of goods into a warehouse, distribution center, or logistics facility from external sources. In daily logistics operations, ingress captures inbound shipments—whether purchased stock, supplier deliveries, or customer returns—and documents their entry into the system. This process is distinct from egress (outbound shipping) and forms the foundation for accurate inventory records, quality checks, and supply-chain visibility.
