Your controllers are *far* too big and general. Receiving should not be
one controller. You'd probably want a ShipmentsController, an
ExceptionCasesController, and so on.

You could probably benefit from redesigning your controllers to follow a
RESTful pattern. You needn't adhere slavishly to it, but using REST as
a guideline will give you a better idea of what controllers are normally
expected to do.

Best,
