856 ASN
Packing lists and ASN must include the following info and must match the shipment exactly:
- Total pieces shipped per item
- Total cases shipped per item
- Total cases shipped for the PO
- Case pack for each item
- Total pieces shipped for the PO
ASN’s for premark for stores shipments will not have a consolidated quantity for the entire PO. The quantities will be for each store. Incorrect packing list information can cause delays in processing freight and could result in charge backs from the DC.
When palletizing more than one style per pallet, please layer styles together with each style number listed on the pallet label. If using cartons stamped with shipping information and printed labels, please ensure that the information matches exactly. If it does not, please cross out the stamped information on the carton. This includes any incorrect pictures or symbols.
