Delivery Note

Extract delivery-note data and reconcile delivered quantities against orders for fast goods-receipt posting.

The Challenge

Suppliers send wildly different delivery-note layouts, often as low-quality scans or phone photos at goods-in. Partial deliveries, batch/serial numbers, and handwritten annotations are common, and the document must be matched to both PO and incoming invoice.

Industries

Manufacturing, logistics, wholesale, construction, food production.

Who Uses It

Goods-receipt / warehouse staff, inbound logistics, AP three-way match.

Delivered qty matched to PO qty; over/under-delivery flagged; batch numbers captured for traceability; supports three-way match with invoice.

Frequently ASked Questions

How do you automate goods receipt from delivery notes?

Capture the delivery-note data even from a poor scan, match delivered quantities to the PO, and post the goods receipt automatically, flagging only deviations.


Can the system read handwritten quantities on delivery notes?

Yes — handwriting and stamped annotations are captured and routed to human review when confidence is low.


How does delivery-note automation enable three-way matching?

By capturing delivered quantities and batch data, the system links PO, delivery note and invoice so AP can match all three automatically.
