Serialized Shipment Notice

Shipment notices allow companies to exchange serialized data for sales shipments with upstream and downstream supply chain trade partners without giving these trade partners access to their serialization system of record. These shipment notices can be used to inform their Partners of the contents of a shipment, and the notices also allow these companies to comply with government regulations or recommendations for sharing serialized data about shipments.

Owners and their partners can search for and view serialized shipment notices messages that are exchanged via Serialized Operations Manager or Multienterprise Process Link.
