The delivery note, also known as a goods accompanying slip, is an essential document in the delivery process. It is issued by the sender of a shipment and accompanies the delivery to the recipient, either in paper form or as a digital document. The delivery note serves as proof of shipment and contains important data about the sent goods.
Although there are no legally required details, our experience with implementing digital delivery notes in many companies has shown that the following information is useful for simplifying business processes for both the sender and the recipient:
- Name and address of the supplier and recipient
- Delivery address of the recipient: This may differ from the billing address and indicates where the goods are to be delivered.
- Order number/order name: Serves as a reference for both parties and facilitates tracking.
- Order date / Delivery date: Documents the timeline of the delivery.
- Quantity and description of the goods: Helps in verifying the delivery contents upon receipt.
- Additional information about the goods: This may include details such as weight, unit prices, number of packages, or important information for order picking.
- Information on missing products and any potential follow-up deliveries.
