Packing Lists - document type

Overview

A Packing List is a shipping document used in international trade that accompanies delivery packages, usually inside an attached shipping pouch or inside the package itself. It commonly includes an itemized detail of the package contents. It is used by the exporter, the international freight forwarder, and by the consignee, for issuing other documents, such as Bill of Lading.

This pre-trained model can extract key data points from this document type.

Particularities

The model automatically detects data such as:

Sender Name and Address,
Receiver Name and Address,
Bill to Name and Address,
Order Date, Order Number, Purchase Order Number, Number of Packages,
Quantity Shipped, Product Code, Product Description, Quantity Ordered.

Extracted fields

Note: If you are using using public endpoints, such as https://du.uipath.com/ie/invoices, all fields are available. However, if you are using custom-trained extractors, the availability of extracted fields is dependant on the version you are currently using.

You can also check the list of fields and types on any endpoint in the /info/model object. To access this, simply add /info/model to any endpoint, like so: https://du.uipath.com/ie/invoices/info/model. For an enhanced reading experience of the fields list, it's recommended to install a JSON viewer extension in your browser.
