Where should an order number be entered in a freight booking?

The order number goes in the order reference field of the freight booking form at the point of collection. It carries through to the transport order sent to the carrier, the reference field of the CMR consignment note, the delivery note's order reference field, and the commercial invoice. The CMR consignment note is the specific freight document where the order number enters the carrier's record — entering it accurately there ensures the carrier, the sender, and the recipient all reference the same commercial transaction from the point of collection through to delivery confirmation.
