Explanation of Key

- You will then get a "History Notes" box asking you to enter a note relevant to the order.
 | We generally recommend that you enter the delivery note number here. |
- The system will then print a delivery note and labels for the items (if your system is configured to do so).
Multiple
These items are on more than one order and the system will ask you to specify which orders the items you are booking in are related to
