Includes fields for item numbers, quantity, weight and comments plus practical setup tips. 9 September 2026 ## Quick answer Use a standard packing list with fixed fields for item number, quantity, weight per line and a comment. This simplifies recurring shipments, cuts errors and speeds up handling in Zurich, Basel or Geneva. Keep a digital template (Excel/CSV) that your ERP or shipping tools can import. ## Why use a standard packing list Recurring B2B shipments benefit from routine. A unified packing list reduces picking mistakes. Receiving teams in warehouses or production lines read item data quickly. That saves time during checks and reduces queries from recipients across Switzerland. ## Essential fields to include Your template should include: 1) Item number (internal/GTIN), 2) Item description, 3) Quantity (pcs/pack), 4) Gross weight per line (kg), 5) Volume/dimensions if relevant, 6) Batch or serial number (if applicable), 7) Customer purchase order, 8) Comment for special notes. These fields ensure consistency for repeated deliveries. ## Format: Excel, CSV and easy integration Build the template in Excel with clear headers. Export a CSV for ERP or shipping tools. Use consistent column names (e.g. sku, description, qty, weight_kg, batch, customer_po, note). This enables automated checks and smooth imports into systems like SAP, Navision or smaller WMS. ## Practical rules for weight recording Weigh per packaged unit and record gross weight including packaging. Round to two decimals. Recheck weights after batch changes. Sum up total shipment weight at the end of the list to simplify booking with courier services in Zurich, Bern or Lausanne. ## Use the comment field with standard codes Keep comments structured. Use short codes like FRAG (fragile), PAL (palletised), SEP (separate packing) or TEMP-NOT (no cold chain). Receiving and courier teams spot requirements quickly. Include a legend in the template. ## Rollout checklist 1) Create the template in Excel/CSV. 2) Test data import with your ERP. 3) Train pickers on mandatory fields. 4) Version the template (e.g. v1.0). 5) Collect feedback after four weeks and adjust fields if needed. ## Frequently asked questions Which columns are essential for recurring shipments? Essential columns are item number, quantity, gross weight per line, customer purchase order and a short comment field. These enable automated checks and simplify shipping. What file format should I use? Keep an editable Excel template and export CSV for data exchange with ERP or shipping tools. How do I record total weight correctly? Sum all gross line weights and include the shipment total at the bottom. Use two decimal places and note the unit (kg). Is the template suitable for international shipments? Yes.
