Shipment no is vital information found in the Advanced Shipment Notice EDI file which forms a unique number to track a package while it is transported. This shipment no can be an alpha numeric no and forms as a unique no for every package a shipper sends. Advanced Shipment notice which is sent to customers helps in sharing all shipment data like packaging information, label data, UCC 128 label printing and container codes.
