Advice of Completion
Also known as: advice of completion, completion advice, completion notice
A notification issued to confirm that a specific operation or contractual obligation has been completed.
Advice of Completion is used in logistics, shipping, and commercial operations to formally confirm that an agreed task has been finished. This may relate to cargo loading or discharge, delivery of goods, completion of a service, or fulfillment of a contractual obligation. The notice is typically issued by the performing party to the counterparty or stakeholder. It often serves as a trigger for subsequent actions such as invoicing, payment, documentation release, or closing of operational records. The advice establishes a clear completion point for operational and commercial reference.
