Common data > Transport note > Transport note 

Transportation notes track goods that are shipped and/or delivered but do not include products that are part of the core business. For example, shipping a computer that needs to be repaired or shipping marketing materials to a conference or trade show.

This function should be protected by a dedicated activity code (TRSNE Transportation notes) because it can be used by countries other than Portugal.

For Portuguese legislation, a separate counter must be used for transportation notes as well a new line for counter assignment. The digital signature is part of the record.

The main differences between this function and deliveries are the following:

  • No link with an existing document
  • No accounting journal
  • No invoices
  • No credit control and credit updates
  • No accounting interface
  • No returns for transportation notes are anticipated
  • No stock management: The products can be managed in stock but no stock movement is generated for transportation notes.
  • No control on stock availability is made even if there is no stock for a product managed in stock.
  • No picking from items in the list panel; transportation notes must be created directly with no link to orders, shortages, etc. 
  • Dedicated sequence number
  • The business partner can be a customer or a supplier.
