ABSTRACT:
A merchandise distribution control system employs specialized labels and requires no writing by loading or shipping dock personnel. All labels and tabs are preprinted or printed at the same time and bear the appropriate store identification number and carton serial number. This printing can be in OCRA, UPC, magnetic, or dot code for manual or automatic scanning. A distribution list is printed by electronic data processing equipment and sets forth all of the merchandise to be distributed, thereby retaining the merchandise information in the system at the end of the distribution process. The distribution list has a plurality of detachable distribution labels, which are associated with the items of merchandise, and when merchandise is placed in the carbon the distribution labels are affixed to a carton manifest. A multi-part carton label is provided having detachable portions which may be affixed to the carton manifest and to a truck manifest and whereby the carton label may be affixed to the truck manifest at the time of loading, whereby accurate control of the location of all of the merchandise items is provided.
