Overview

This feature allows you to create delivery notes by setting the product amount and quantity, various costs, and basic delivery information according to the transaction details for each buyer.

The available data sources and inventory handling differ depending on the inventory management method.

Purpose

Standardizing the delivery note creation process eliminates differences between personnel, helping to prevent business operations from becoming dependent on specific individuals.

Since delivery notes can be created based on existing data, the range requiring manual input is minimized, which also leads to a reduction in input errors and operational mistakes.

Feature Description

Differences Between Inventory Management Methods

The delivery note data sources, line selection methods, inventory handling, and billing availability differ depending on the inventory management method.

Data Source Types

Inventory Management (New Method):

The following data sources are available in Inventory Management (New Method).

Data source	Description
Original (Without data source)	Select delivery items from the product master to create a delivery note.
Undelivered SKU	Select delivery items based on Backlog SKU data created from orders to create a delivery note.
Order Confirmation Lines	Select lines from confirmed order confirmations to create a delivery note.

With Order Confirmation Lines, you can add only the required lines and quantities from multiple order confirmations belonging to the same buyer to one delivery note. You can also include only part of the quantity from an order line and handle the remaining quantity in a subsequent delivery note.

Inventory Management (Conventional Method):

The following data sources are available in Inventory Management (Conventional Method).

Data source	Description
Original (Without data source)	Select delivery items from the product master to create a delivery note.
Undelivered SKU	Select delivery items based on Backlog SKU data created from orders to create a delivery note.
Paid Undelivered SKU	Create a delivery note based on Paid Backlog SKU data created from credit card payment orders.
Confirmed Order	Select a confirmed order by order to create a delivery note. All SKUs included in the selected order confirmation are included in the delivery note.
Partner Inventory	Select delivery items from inventory currently on loan through the Partner Inventory feature to create a delivery note. This data source is available only when an inventory mapping rule has been configured.

Inventory Handling

In Inventory Management (New Method), you do not configure the Inventory Operation, Source, or Destination used in Inventory Management (Conventional Method).

You can specify whether to apply inventory only when the data source type is Original (Without data source) or Undelivered SKU.

When inventory is applied, specify a quantity within the currently available inventory to reserve inventory for the delivery note. You cannot create a delivery note by reserving only part of a quantity when there is insufficient available inventory.

When inventory is not applied, inventory is not automatically deducted when the delivery note is created or completed.

For Order Confirmation Lines, the Inventory Operation settings used in Inventory Management (Conventional Method) are not available. The lines are processed based on the allocation status linked to the order.

In Inventory Management (Conventional Method), you can perform an Inventory Operation when an inventory mapping rule for delivery note creation has been configured. For an Inventory Operation, specify whether to perform the operation and set the labels and locations for the Source and Destination.

When an Inventory Operation is not performed, inventory is not automatically deducted when the delivery note is created or completed.

Available Options in Delivery Notes

The available options for the following items are determined by the maker's Core Preferences.

• Selectable currencies
• Selectable transaction terms
• Selectable billing terms

Options for the tax to be applied are determined by the maker's tax settings.

For details on the maker's core settings and tax settings, refer to the following operation manuals.

Details That Can Be Added to Delivery Notes

The following details can be added to a delivery note.

• SKU: Based on the data source, SKU details for delivery items can be added. You can customize the wholesale price and applied tax.
• Custom item: Items that do not exist in the product master can be added as custom items.
• Shipping Fee: You can add a shipping fee specific to the delivery note or a shipping fee stocked for an order. When Confirmed Order is selected in Inventory Management (Conventional Method), the stocked shipping fee from the source order is applied automatically.
• Other fee: Other fees, such as cash-on-delivery fees or repair costs, can be added. You can also enter a negative amount to treat it as a discount.

Basic Information to Set in Delivery Notes

The following items are set as basic information for the delivery note.

• Delivery address
• Delivery Invoice No.
• Delivery Date
• Billing availability
• Note
• Comments in the PDF
• Tags

For details on document numbering rules, refer to Configure Document Numbering Rules.

Relationship With Invoice Creation

A delivery note can be set as Non-billable.

If set to non-billable, it cannot be used as a data source when creating an invoice.

A delivery note created only from paid Order Confirmation Lines in Inventory Management (New Method) is non-billable. Paid Undelivered SKU in Inventory Management (Conventional Method) is also non-billable.

Important Notes

A delivery note that includes allocation pending quantities cannot be completed until the inventory is ready.

Lines With Different Payment Types Cannot Be Added to the Same Delivery Note

A delivery note created only from paid lines is non-billable. A delivery note created from Paid Undelivered SKU in Inventory Management (Conventional Method) is also non-billable.

Notes About Applying Order Shipping Fees

An Order Shipping Fee is created and stocked for each order when the order with the shipping fee reaches the OC confirmed status.

A stocked shipping fee is consumed when it is applied to a delivery note or invoice. Once applied, the same shipping fee cannot also be applied to another delivery note.

In Inventory Management (Conventional Method), you can manually select any available stocked shipping fee regardless of the data source.

In Inventory Management (New Method), you can manually select an available stocked shipping fee when using Order Confirmation Lines as the data source. Order Shipping Fees are not available when using Original (Without data source) or Undelivered SKU.

When a delivery note is created using Confirmed Order as the data source in Inventory Management (Conventional Method), the shipping fee from the source order is applied automatically if stock remains.

For Order Confirmation Lines in Inventory Management (New Method), the shipping fee is not applied automatically. If needed, select the shipping fee to use from Order Shipping Fee.

For details, refer to Create an Order Confirmation, which explains shipping fees set for orders.

Troubleshooting

When Order Confirmation Lines, Backlog SKUs, or Other Data Cannot Be Found

The items to check depend on the inventory management method and data source type. The following are common cases to review.

Inventory Management (New Method):

• Order Confirmation Lines
  • Confirm that the target order confirmation has been confirmed. You cannot create a delivery note from lines in an unconfirmed order confirmation.
  • Lines with no allocated inventory are hidden by default. Enable Include Allocation Pending Quantities to display and review lines for which inventory has not been allocated.
  • In an environment migrated from Inventory Management (Conventional Method) to Inventory Management (New Method), orders created before migration must be converted for use with the new method. Confirm that the target order has been converted. If V2 conversion unreviewed appears in the order list, conversion is required.
    • For details, refer to Bulk Convert Legacy Orders.
  • Confirm that a delivery note has not already been created.
• Undelivered SKU

  • Confirm that the Backlog SKU has not been archived.
  • Confirm that a delivery note has not already been created.

Inventory Management (Conventional Method):

• Confirmed Order
  • Confirm that the target order confirmation has been confirmed. You cannot create a delivery note from an unconfirmed order confirmation.
  • Confirm that a delivery note has not already been created.
• Undelivered SKU
  • Confirm that the target Backlog SKU has been created from an order.
  • Confirm that the Backlog SKU has not been archived.
  • Confirm that a delivery note or Partner Inventory transfer slip has not already been created.
