ThePacking Manifest, as outlined in CLT’s “Dispatch and Tracking” materials, serves as a summary of the shipment’s contents prepared by the distribution facility. It lists each package, associated orders, and item counts—verifying that all goods scheduled for shipment have been processed and loaded. This document ensures traceability from the warehouse to the carrier. It differs from the Bill of Lading, which governs transport, and from the Bill of Materials, which belongs to production. The manifest functions as an internal control record confirming that all order processing, packing, and labeling steps have been completed according to plan. It’s a key verification point for outbound accuracy, reducing the risk of lost or misplaced shipments.
