Def - Shipping Description

The 'Shipping Description' is only used on custom Shipping and/or Export Reports (e.g. a custom Bill of Lading) in companies that want to group like items together. For example, if you are manage 15 unique Item ID's for various packaged sizes of Frozen Sockeye Salmon Fillets, you could assign all 15 a 'Shipping Description of "Frozen Sockeye Salmon Fillets". Then, if you transferred quantities of all 15 Items, you would only see 1 line item on the BOL labeled "Frozen Sockeye Salmon Fillets".
