When ordering CIIs via a DEA 222 form, what must be recorded when the goods are received?

• A. Amount received and date received
• B. Signature of supplier
• C. DEA form serial number
• D. Price paid

Answer: (A)

When a CIIs shipment ordered with a DEA Form 222 arrives, you must document the exact receipt details to prove delivery and maintain accurate controls. The crucial record is the quantity actually received and the date it was received on your copy of the form, so your inventory and records match what landed on your shelves. This helps with reconciliation, audits, and ensuring there’s no diversion or discrepancy between what was ordered and what was delivered. Price paid isn’t part of the required receipt details, the form’s serial number is used for tracking the order itself rather than recording receipt, and while a supplier’s signature may appear on the form, the essential compliance record you maintain focuses on how much you received and when.
