Packing List - Document Skill - ABBYY Documentation

The Packing List skill extracts data from packing lists. A packing list is a document enclosed by a shipper detailing the contents of each package, for example, box and pallet. A packing list is helpful when a shipment includes multiple different items. It usually states the quantity, weight, dimensions, and volume of each item. Information contained in a packing list may be used in other shipping documents (such as bills of lading) to facilitate the preparation and loading of goods, customs clearance, and registration of the shipped items at various stages of their transportation. A packing list accompanies shipped items until they have been accepted by the consignee. The Packing List skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing packing lists. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.
