Can SKUs be mixed on a single pallet?
The source material does not explicitly specify requirements for mixing SKUs on a single pallet.
Can SKUs be mixed within a single carton?
The guidelines do not explicitly mention whether SKUs can be mixed within a single carton or not. They specify that either pallet or carton level ASNs are required and for carton level, the carton HL and item level HL are required, repeating for each new carton.
What are the allowed pallet types for shipping?
The allowed pallet type for shipping is 'PLT' (Pallet).
What are the requirements for carton or pallet labels and their placement?
For a Pallet level ship notice, the Pallet HL and item level HL are required. Cartons can be nested within a Pallet level, but both the Pallet and the cartons need to be labeled, and the MAN segment must be sent, which includes the Marks and Numbers (SSCC-18 and Application Identifier for pallet and package tracking numbers for cartons).
What are the requirements for inner packs and cases?
The requirement specifies that the number of inner containers, or the number of eaches if there are no inner containers, per outer container must be indicated using the PO401 element in the Ship Notice/Manifest 856 guidelines. It is mandatory to use this element with values between 1 and 6 digits in length.
What are the requirements for placing labels on cartons being shipped?
For carton shipments, the label requirements include placing a label with the SSCC-18 and Application Identifier, as per the Marks and Numbers Qualifier coded as 'GM.' The document specifies that the MAN segment, which includes these identifiers, is mandatory for each carton level ASN. There is no mention of recommended placement for these labels on cartons in the provided excerpts.
