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.
BASE Schema
Delivery note number — Text
Delivery date — Date
Supplier name — Text

Line items (article, qty delivered, unit) — Table
Batch / serial numbers — Table
Ship-to / goods-in location — Key value set (name, street, postal code, city, country)
Carrier — Text
Recommended pipeline settings — High precision mode, Context (goods-in location codes and supplier abbreviations)
OPTIONAL Validation
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.
