Booking number

Definition

a "booking number" is a unique identifier assigned to a specific shipment reservation made by a shipper or freight forwarder. It serves as a reference number that helps track and manage the booking throughout the transportation process. The booking number is typically generated by the carrier or logistics provider and is used for documentation, communication, and coordination purposes. It allows all parties involved, including the shipper, consignee, and carrier, to easily identify and reference the specific booking and associated shipment details.
