Delivery notes

In plentymarkets, you can generate delivery notes, for example if you want to print them or import them into another software. For your customers, delivery notes are important documents for checking their incoming items. Therefore, make sure that important data such as the order date, the list of items and the quantities are displayed correctly.

1. Setting up a document template for delivery notes
