This page is for the Operations App. For the Classic Operations App please see Parcel Types (Classic Operations App).

Parcel items are individual items, or inventory, inside of a main parcel. Parcel items are linked to specific parcel types. You can create custom parcel items with a required quantity input that is nested under available parcel types for each customer to capture the information from Nextstop users. 

You can use Find (BETA) to run reports for parcel items and download additional reports via the Advanced Find Service.
