EDI transactions
Delivery Note v Goods arriving at a customer’s door should have documentation to indicate who they are from and why they have been sent. v It normally specifies: § The product and quantity v It should specify § The order it fulfils v The delivery note can be sent by EDI. This saves: § Typing in the delivery note details § Matching it to the corresponding order v The problem with the EDI delivery note is that it does not prove that the package and the goods actually arrived.
