Packing Slip

A packing slip is a record that enumerates the contents of a shipment. Usually, it is fastened to the delivered goods.

Only delivery notes in the draft stage can be used to create packing slips in ERPNext.

It is possible to create multiple Packing Slips from a single Delivery Note. When the shipment is packaged in various boxes, this is helpful. The weight and quantity of items in each box may vary. If 20 chairs are being shipped in 4 boxes, for instance, 5 chairs may be included in each box, each with its own Packing Slip.
