I omitted to explain my answer. I don't think that the parcel in question is composed of order shortfalls, rather that items are missing from the order and this is detailed on the delivery order document. Presumably the missing items will be sent another time.
I imagine that one order can be composed of several or many parcels, but the delivery order which details missing items from the order is only inserted in the last parcel. (Hopefully the recipient will know which is the 'last' parcel if they are all delivered together at the same time !)

agree kashew : Seems safest in an unclear description.

thank you kashew !
neutral Andrew Bramhall : They are missing items, yes, but they probably originated from unavailability at the time of despatch rather than having been overlooked or forgotten, which is what your answer implies. /// What is an order shortfall if not items that are missing?

see note above// your answer implies that the last parcel is composed of items that have been lacking from other orders. In my mind the last parcel doesn't contain these missing items.

Order shortfall

"At the House of Dior, before the last parcel goes to be weighed, a delivery order note is printed off detailing the order shortfalls (from previously despatched parts of the order) which have been included in this last parcel". (In order to make the entire order complete, is how I read it)
