A packing list can be used as a supporting document in case of any conflict between conveyor and exporter regarding the cargo. It is also used by Customs for clearance and entry into foreign countries.
To file a claim with the shipping or insurance company in the event of cargo damage or loss, a packing list can be given as a validation document.

Very superficial reply to janet and documentation
So you write “Existing Order Meta” but no where do your documentation explain WHAT an ORDER META Look like? How about CREATE a page with a list of the META you can use?
Hi,
Since the metadata vary from site to site and it will depend on the additional plugin that users install in their site that are related to orders, it is not possible to list out all order meta. To give you an idea, the data in the custom fields are of order details page is an example for order meta.
I need to be able to sort the items on the packing list by their SKU. Can it be done
Hi,
There is no option to sort based on SKU by default. We can try to implement this via code snippet. Please reach us via support.
Did this work out? I need this as well 🙂
Yes. Refer article here.
I want to use either the packing slip or the shipping label in order to print out the gift card to attach the bouquet of flowers we are delivering – I cant understand how to add my fields though – they dont show as options but when i add new meta field then i can select them but still i cant bring them in to the template – this documentation is not comprehensive – please help, Janet
Hi,
You can add custom fields or metadata stored with order details on the packing list via the Additional Fields > Add Existing Order Meta. You can use the database key in which the data is stored as meta key and enter a field name of your choice that will be displayed.
Reach us via support link above for further queries. We will be publishing an article soon documenting these separately.
