What document lists the pieces included in a shipment?

Bill of lading
Shipping manifest
Packing slip
Delivery receipt

The correct answer is: Shipping manifest

The shipping manifest is the document that provides a comprehensive list of the pieces included in a shipment, detailing the contents of the shipment including descriptions, quantities, and possibly weights of the items. This document serves as a crucial reference for freight handlers, import/export officials, and recipients, ensuring that the full details of what is being transported are recorded and available for inventory and verification purposes. By having the shipping manifest on hand, parties involved can cross-reference what was shipped versus what is received, aiding in supply chain management and logistics efficiency. While the bill of lading is a contractual document between a shipper and carrier; a packing slip accompanies the shipment detailing the items included, but it is generally not as formal or comprehensive as a shipping manifest; and a delivery receipt is used to confirm that the goods were received but does not list the details of the shipment in the same way the shipping manifest does. Understanding the specific purpose of each document is key in supply chain and logistics management.
