When preparing LTL Pack Last shipments in InventoryLab, you will encounter the option to print a Shipping Manifest while in Plan It. While not strictly required, this document can be a valuable tool for organization and verification.
What Is a Shipping Manifest?
A shipping manifest is a detailed document that accompanies your shipment and provides a summary of its contents. Unlike a simple packing list, a shipping manifest includes destination details, warehouse codes, item identifiers, quantities, and total shipment values.
This kind of structured information gives sellers and warehouse teams a clear overview of what’s being shipped and where it’s going.
While optional, shipping manifests add an extra layer of control and accountability to your fulfillment process. They help sellers stay organized, provide clarity for warehouses and carriers, and safeguard against disputes.
