Understand Delivery Note PDF content

This guide explains that every major section the PDF renders and what it intentionally excludes. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.

What you’ll accomplish

Know every major section the PDF renders and what it intentionally excludes. This guide follows the supplied Delivery Note module’s live hooks, controller actions, model rules, views and stored side effects.

Follow these steps

1. Go to the PDF.
2. Check company branding and document reference.
3. Check invoice/date and issue/delivery address cards.
4. Check delivery method, delivered by, tracking and recipient information.
5. Check the delivered-items table with description, quantity and unit.
6. Check notes, confirmation, signature and QR/secure-link area.
7. Check continuation pages when item content exceeds one page.

Fields and options to review

• A4 portrait layout
• Brand/logo and company details
• Reference and invoice data
• Delivery and recipient cards
• Delivered-item snapshot
• Notes and signature evidence
• QR/secure stamp
• Footer

Rules the system enforces

• Commercial prices are not printed; the invoice remains the commercial document.
• Long item content can continue onto extra pages with repeated document context.
• Unsigned PDFs show a signature placeholder; signed PDFs can embed the stored signature data.
• Missing snapshot items render a clear no-items message.

How to confirm it worked

• The PDF represents the delivery evidence without replacing the source invoice.

Safety checks and troubleshooting

• Verify the status and reference before treating a printed copy as final.
