Create and manage delivery notes for customer purchase orders through the Supplier API, enabling automated goods receipt processing for your customers.
Overview
The Supplier Delivery Notes API enables you to:
- Create delivery notes for customer purchase orders
- Provide detailed information about delivered order lines
- Update or delete delivery notes when corrections are needed
- Support your customers' automated goods receipt processes
Creating Delivery Notes
When creating a delivery note, you provide comprehensive information about the delivery to help your customers efficiently process incoming goods. Delivery notes capture information at both document and line-article levels, including supplier details, delivery dates, article numbers, names, delivered quantities (including decimals), package information, GTIN/EAN codes, prices, and VAT details.
You can create multiple delivery notes for the same purchase order when delivering in multiple shipments. When you include accurate supplier article numbers, the system can automatically match your delivered order lines to the customer's purchase order and pre-fill their goods receipt.
Best Practices
To help your customers process delivery notes efficiently:
- Include Accurate Article Numbers: Provide correct supplier article numbers and names to enable automatic matching and pre-filled goods receipts
- Accurate Quantities and Pricing: Ensure delivered quantities are precise (including decimals) and include accurate pricing for invoice reconciliation
- Timely Creation: Create delivery notes before the time of delivery to allow for automated pre-processing
