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).

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.

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.
