A Guide to Recording Packaging Requests in the OrientDig Spreadsheet
Accurate delivery cost calculation is the cornerstone of efficient e-commerce logistics. At OrientDig, we ensure every packaging adjustment—whether a repack, consolidation, or weight change—is meticulously tracked. Proper logging in your designated spreadsheet is key to transparent billing and operational clarity.
Why Precise Recording is Essential
Each modification to an original package impacts the final volumetric or actual weight used by carriers. By documenting these changes, you:
- Guarantee accurate, fair shipping charges.
- Maintain a clear audit trail for every order.
- Enable our team to process requests correctly and efficiently.
- Gain valuable insights into packaging efficiency.
How to Log Requests in Your Spreadsheet
Follow this standardized process for every packaging request. Ensure the following columns are updated without fail:
| Spreadsheet Column | What to Record | Example Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Order ID | The unique identifier for the original order. | ORD-78901 |
| Request Type | Specify: Repack, Consolidation, or Weight Change. | "Consolidation" |
| New Weight (kg) | The confirmed weight after | 2.75 |
| New Dimensions (cm) | Updated Length x Width x Height (if applicable). | 30x20x15 |
| Notes/Reason | Brief context, e.g., "Removed original shoebox" or "Combined Orders A & B." | Consolidated with ORD-78902 for same customer. |
| Status | Mark as Requested, Completed, or Cancelled. | Completed |
Best Practices for Flawless Tracking
2. Be Specific in Notes
Clearly state what was changed. For consolidations, list all involved Order IDs. This prevents confusion during fulfillment.
3. Verify Completion
Once notified that the operation is finished, promptly update the Status
4. Regular Review
Schedule weekly audits of the spreadsheet to ensure all entries are complete and all "Requested" items have been resolved.
