Explanatory Notes
A document that itemizes in detail the contents of a particular package, carton, pallet, or container for shipment to a customer. The details include a description of the items, the shipper’s or customer’s part number, the quantity shipped, and the stock keeping units (SKUs) of the items shipped. The packing slip accompanies the shipment to help the consignee verify the contents received [ASCM].
A packing list itemizes the contents of each package (box, pallets, etc). It includes weights, measurements and detailed lists of the goods in each package. The packing list is included in carton or package, and can be attached to the outside of a package with a copy inside [International Trade Administration].
most packing lists include information about the arrival time of the logistic unit (the ending time of the arrival process), but this feature is not axiomatized since it is not a necessary feature for all packing list instances
packing list may also describe logistic units’ contents and packaging configuration
packing list may also refer to the logistic units’ invoice number or bill of lading as well.
Examples
- A paper packing slip included inside a single cardboard shipping box (Logistic Unit) delivered to a residential customer. The document describes the packaging configuration (1 Corrugated Box, Gross Weight: 2.3 kg) and itemizes the contents (2x Wireless Headphones, SKU: HP-900; 1x Charging Cable, SKU: CB-12). It participates in the parcel delivery logistics process.
