Power of Attorney for Receipt of Goods and Material Assets (GMA) — by which a company authorizes an employee, courier, or freight forwarder to accept and remove GMA from suppliers, carriers, warehouses, and terminals.
The template includes extended powers: checking item names, quantities, quality, and labeling; opening packaging; selective or full acceptance; drafting acts/reports (including analogs of TORG-2, TORG-3); making notations on commercial and transport documents; signing primary documents (delivery notes, UPD, VAT invoices, packing lists, certificates) and transport documents (TTN, transport waybills, CMR, bill of lading).
It provides for interaction with transport companies and forwarders, arranging one-time access passes, ordering loading/unloading operations, partial release, and obtaining duplicates.
The document sets out restrictions: no right to alienate/pledge GMA or receive money (except to pay for necessary one-off services); no subdelegation; obligation to hand over the GMA and the originals of the documents to the accounting department.
Typical use cases:
- Picking up goods from a supplier, at a 3PL/logistics operator’s warehouse, or at a distribution center.
- Receiving cargo at a transport company terminal, railway station, airport, or seaport.
- Release from a warehouse under responsible storage, from a temporary storage warehouse (TSW) or a customs warehouse.
- Receiving consignments at a post office and from courier services, at pickup points.
- Acceptance of advertising and printed materials, samples, PPE, stationery, and consumables.
- Receipt of components, spare parts, and tools for service/repair.
- Work by a driver/forwarder/courier for regular shipments and when warehouse access requires a pass and a time window.
- Partial acceptance under long-term contracts (supply, works, services) with the right to issue discrepancy reports and notations.
- Cases when the manager is absent and GMA must be accepted urgently with all primary documents properly executed.
- The need to order loading/unloading operations, arrange an access pass, obtain duplicate documents, or their certified copies for accounting.
