A packing list is a document that details the contents of a shipment, including SKU numbers, quantities, weights, and packaging instructions. It ensures order accuracy during transit and receiving. While primarily a logistics document, packing lists support inventory accuracy by validating what was shipped versus what was ordered and received. They also assist in customs and compliance. For optimization, digital packing lists integrated with warehouse management systems reduce errors and enable faster goods receipt. They support automated inventory updates and discrepancy alerts, contributing to cleaner inventory data.
