The words on the
docket, explained

Plain-English definitions for the terms your team uses every day — and exactly how they map to Logibuddy.

AWB (Air Waybill)
The tracking number a carrier assigns to a shipment. In Logibuddy you can search by your docket number, a vendor docket or a carrier AWB such as Delhivery’s.
Booking register
A branch-and-route report of every shipment booked, with pickup, transit, delivery and TAT fields, exportable for finance and ops.
B2C fulfilment
Direct-to-consumer delivery — order intake through last-mile drop and returns, with the customer notified along the way.
Consignor / Consignee
The sender (consignor) and receiver (consignee) on a shipment. Both are managed as masters and reused across dockets.
Docket
The core shipment record — consignor, consignee, mode, packing and charges. Everything downstream (manifests, run sheets, POD) hangs off the docket.
Forwarding
Handing a shipment to a partner carrier for onward movement, kept under the same docket trail.
HSN
Harmonised System of Nomenclature code used for tax classification of goods, held in the HSN master.

Manifest
A grouping of dockets by branch, mode and vendor for line-haul and handover, with its own register.
MIS
Management Information System reporting — the operational summaries and exports your team runs the business on.
Pincode / TAT
Serviceable pincodes and their Turn-Around-Time expectations, held as masters and used to verify serviceability and measure performance.
POD (Proof of Delivery)
The evidence a shipment was delivered, captured against a docket, with a pending-POD report to chase gaps.
Run sheet
The pickup or delivery worklist put in a rider’s hands for the day.
RTO (Return to Origin)
A shipment sent back to the sender. Handled as a tracked flow so returns are never lost.
Sales-invoice register
The billing that falls out of operations — charges captured during the day, rolled up per client and branch.
SKU
Stock Keeping Unit — a uniquely identified product in the WMS, with unit, price and category.
Shield roles
Logibuddy’s role-based access model. Roles define exactly which modules and actions a user can reach.
