Common questions
Link to this section: Common questionsA load failed a test but the supplier insists. You can accept it all the same only with a note saying why; Kila keeps the failed test with the delivery.
Part of the load is bad. Choose Reject part, say how much and why, and receive the rest.
Why can I not plan a run? Planning is the supervisor’s: you see the orders and issue their materials.
