Warehouse reference · Packing & shipping
Packing verification
Packing verifies and prepares the goods associated with an order or shipment. It can confirm contents, quantities, serials, packaging, and required documents. Its controls should complement picking rather than repeat checks without purpose.
How it works in practice
Identify the order or container, verify required contents, resolve discrepancies, choose approved packaging, and confirm completion. Keep repacking and reopened cartons traceable to the same business record.
A warehouse example
An order arrives at packing in two totes from different zones. The process must recognize whether both portions are complete before sealing the final shipment.
Illustrative scenario, not a claim about a client engagement.
What to watch for
A closed carton can still contain an unresolved order. Define the business completion criteria separately from the physical act of closing packaging.
