On the Advance Shipping Note (ASN):

Each ASN should clearly indicate:

Attach to each ASN a document that states the carton or pallet number along with the total number of units inside them. 

Example: 

Pallet 1 - 300 units

Pallet 2 - 400 units

Pallet 1 - 500 units in Carton 1, 2, and 3

If you're only shipping cartons, then Carton 1 - 50 units, Carton 2 - 60 units, etc.

Important! In the event of shipping grocery items, attach a list of all the items with their expiry dates, and batch numbers.

 

Fashion products

Security tags should be removed, and sewing/swing tags should be visible in the packaging (in the absence of a sewing tag, fashion items should have a tag that provides the size and product details).

Not-necessary price tags should be removed prior to supply.

Products of every assortment type, such as size or color, must have a unique barcode & Partner SKU
