Auditing/timming and lading

Question
What is timming and lading in auditing

Answer
"Lading" refers to a cargo load [most often used in "Bill of Lading"].  "Timming" is new to me but if you mean "Timing", then it is too ambiguous to define as it is context dependent.

These terms are used in freight audits and inventory audits.  I would venture a guess, however, that your query of the term "Timing" refers to cargo time in transit, or load delivery date vs expected/required date.
