The documents
For each shipment: the customer’s purchase order, the commercial invoice, the packing list, and the customer’s labelling and specification sheet. They are prepared by different people, often at the end of a long day.
The Cowork check
- The shipment’s documents go into one folder, one folder per shipment.
- Cowork compares quantities, product codes, weights and HS codes across the PO, invoice and packing list.
- It checks the labelling requirements in the customer’s spec sheet against what the packing list describes.
- It writes a short exceptions report: what doesn’t match, in which document and on which line.
- The brief is saved as a Skill, so every shipment gets the same check.
The documentation officer fixes the exceptions and signs off. Cowork never contacts the freight forwarder or the customer.
