tracking numbers
Package location identifiers
Tracking numbers are alphanumeric codes assigned to packages and shipments, allowing senders and recipients to monitor their location and delivery status: I'll send you the tracking number once it ships.
Carriers like UPS, FedEx, and postal services each use their own tracking number formats.
The term extends to any reference code for following an item through a process.
