As of 13 August 2026, AI can create packing slips from orders.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open your order system and export the orders that need fulfilment, including order numbers, customer names, delivery addresses, SKUs, descriptions, variants and quantities.
   2. Open your current product list and warehouse instructions, then remove payment details and any customer information that the packing process does not need.
   3. Paste the order export and the relevant fulfilment rules into the prompt, keeping each order number and its line items together.
   4. Ask the chatbot to create the slips and the checking table, and to mark missing or conflicting information instead of filling gaps.
   5. Compare every drafted slip with the original order export, checking the order number, delivery address, SKU, variant and quantity against the source row by row.
   6. Resolve every NEEDS CHECKING item in the order system or with the warehouse colleague responsible for fulfilment, then regenerate only the affected slips.
   7. Save the checked slips in the format your warehouse uses, send or print them for picking, and keep the original order export with the approved version.

   Prompt

   Create packing slips from the order data below.
   
   Order data:
   [PASTE THE ORDER EXPORT OR TABLE HERE]
   
   Use these fulfilment rules:
   [PASTE YOUR PACKING, BUNDLE, GIFT, AND SHIPPING RULES HERE]
   
   For each order, produce a separate packing slip with:
   - order number
   - order date, if supplied
   - customer name
   - delivery address exactly as supplied
   - SKU or product code
   - product description
   - quantity
   - variant, size or colour, if supplied
   - packing notes, if supplied
   
   Do not invent, correct or infer any customer, product, quantity, address or shipping information. Preserve SKUs and quantities exactly. If a required field is missing or inconsistent, mark it clearly as NEEDS CHECKING and explain the problem instead of guessing. Do not include prices, payment details or unnecessary personal data. Keep the wording suitable for a UK warehouse and format the result for copying into a document or printing. After the slips, provide a checking table showing each order number, the number of line items, total units, and every field marked NEEDS CHECKING.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
