Delivery Memos can be used for several purposes. Most commonly it's printed out used as a Packing List to be included with the actual delivery. To print the delivery memo, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to export a PDF or Excel. 



Additionally, you can email the delivery memo to anyone in your Contacts database.




Delivery Memo Templates

The delivery memo can be customized using Templates

  • Templates are saved based on document type (Delivery memo, Proforma Invoice, DDT)
    • Private templates are only seen and used by you

    • Global templates are seen and used by any user

  • First load of a Delivery Memo will use your personal default template

    • This can be changed by clicking the Set as default button after switching to only a Global Template.

    • You can set another user's default template from within the template editor if you have the user privilege

  • If you select a different template, that template will be saved and loaded the next time you open that particular Delivery Memo

Return Disclaimer

The return disclaimer renders as a new page and is meant to provide any kind of specific return instructions. For instance, watches & fine jewelry collections or other high valued items may require an extra level of documentation to ensure safe return of the item. In this case, the Delivery Memo can be emailed to the recipient, so that they may sign and return the disclaimer page prior to the actual delivery of the items.

At the Template level there are 3 options to for setting the Return Disclaimer. 

  • Automatic (based on Collections) — This means that the Return Disclaimer will be automatically enabled, based on the Collections of the Samples on the delivery, and if any of those collections Require Return Disclaimer.
  • Always Enabled
  • Always Disabled
