A packing slip is a document that itemizes the contents of a shipment and is typically included with the delivered goods.

Multiple packing slips can be generated from a single delivery note, which proves beneficial when a shipment is divided into different boxes. Each box may contain a specific weight and quantity of items. For instance, if you’re dispatching 20 chairs in 4 boxes, each box might contain 5 chairs, with separate packing slips issued for each box.

To access the Packing Slip list, go to: > Home > Stock > Tools > Packing Slip

Note: In order to create Packing Slips from a Delivery Note, the Delivery Note needs to be in the Draft stage.

1. Prerequisites

Before creating and using a Packing Slip, it is advised that you create the following first:

• Delivery Note

2. How to create a new Packing Slip

Typically, it’s advisable to generate a Packing Slip from a Delivery Note while it’s in the Draft stage. However, if manual creation is preferred, adhere to these steps:

1. Navigate to the Packing Slip list and select New.
2. Choose the associated Delivery Note.
3. Input the From Package Number for this Packing Slip.
4. Utilize the Get Items button to retrieve the Items and their respective Quantities into the Items table.
5. Save the changes.

Note that most of these details will be automatically populated if you create the Packing Slip from the Delivery Note.

1.1 Additional options when creating a Packing Slip

To Package No: If multiple packages of the same type are to be shipped simultaneously, specify the From and To Package numbers accordingly. For instance, include package numbers 1 to 5 in one Packing Slip, followed by package numbers 6 to 10 in the next Packing Slip, and so forth. This information will be displayed on the printed Packing Slip. However, please be aware that this functionality will only apply if your shipment contains a sufficient quantity of the items.
