Depends entirely whether the customer complains it wasn't delivered, in which case it would be considered lost.

Do you remember the address maybe go back and ask if they still have the packaging to scan the barcode?

Great idea for RM, Van Share. They now try and sack you both.

Could give the manager the customers phone number?.They have not complained but it's to late to scan it tomorrow?.If they confirm they have the item what's the problem everyone makes a mistake once.

you say not recorded on the pda ? did you use a pda ? if so did the customer sign it and the number come up on the top of the screen ? it could be a missing text message

Could be you pressed the wrong option or the pda crashed. As mentioned all will depend if the customer claims they did not receive it.

Things like this happen and people seem to get away with it ok.

This will be classed as a technical failure, the PDA if used correctly will transmit in real time, has there been a Customer complaint about not receiving the Special?? :wave :wave

Or did he scan one of the recorded items twice, mistakenly believing that three items were scanned

Someone, preferably both you and the manager together, need to speak to the person concerned. I am smelling 'lazy manager syndrome' again. Easier to stay rooted to the desk and issue disciplinary forms while chewing on a sausage roll.
