Delivery note light is a simplified version of the ordinary delivery note and is generated for a single shipment. It shows the same basic information as the ordinary delivery note — sender/company information, customer and delivery information as well as the shipment's line items — but in a lighter layout with fewer details.
The printout is typically used as a receipt that accompanies the goods at shipment, so the recipient can see what the package contains and where it has been sent. Choose the light variant when you want a clean and simple delivery note without the extra elements (e.g. footer with bank details, watermark or barcode) that the full delivery note can contain.
Delivery note light is started from Financial, from the individual shipment you want to print for:
1. Open the shipment the goods were shipped from. 2. Choose the print button on the shipment. 3. Choose Delivery note light among the printouts.
The printout is shown as a PDF that can be saved, printed or sent along with the delivery.
Delivery note light has no user-selectable parameters. The shipment itself is filled in automatically based on the shipment you print from, and the rest of the information (sender, customer, delivery address and line items) is pulled automatically from it. So you just have to choose the printout — there are no further options to set.
The dispatch note (light) also has a range of settings that control its appearance and behaviour but are not shown in the print dialog. They can be turned on/off or adjusted by support per company. If you want the dispatch note customized, contact support and refer to the relevant setting below. The technical name of each setting is shown in parentheses.
