Frequently Asked Questions
What is a packing slip?

When should I use a packing slip?
Use a packing slip when the standard invoice format doesn't fit your specific situation. This document type serves a distinct purpose in the invoicing workflow. InvoiceQuickly generates packing slips with all the right fields pre-configured.
What's the difference between a packing slip and a regular invoice?
A regular invoice is the standard billing document for goods or services delivered. A packing slip serves a more specific purpose — it may be issued before delivery, after corrections, for partial billing, or for specialized transaction types. The key difference is in when it's issued and what it represents in your accounting records.
Do I need a unique number for each packing slip?
Yes. Like invoices, each packing slip should have a unique sequential number for tracking and audit purposes. Many businesses use a separate numbering sequence (e.g., CN-001 for credit notes, DN-001 for debit notes) to distinguish them from regular invoices.
