Packing Slip

A packing slip is a document that lists the items in a shipment.

It is usually attached to the goods delivered.

From a single Delivery Note, multiple Packing Slips can be created. It is useful when the shipment is packed in different boxes. Each box can have a weight and number of Items it contains. For example, if you're shipping 20 chairs in 4 boxes, each box can contain 5 chairs with different Packing Slips for each box.

To access the Packing Slip list, go to:

Home > Stock > Tools > Packing Slip
