# Send Delivery Notes

> Learn how to send delivery notes to your trading partners through Business Central

## Send Delivery Notes

You can use almost all functions and options of the standard BC for released documents. The simple|EDI status "accepted" or "changed" is a requirement for posting shipments and/or invoices, regardless of whether the order response must be sent via Procuros or not. This is because some mandatory fields cannot be edited subsequently.

## Order Status Requirements

Please remember the following:

### Accepted Status

If the sales order has the simple EDI status "accepted": Only complete shipments are permitted for an order line. Therefore, the "quantity to ship" in each line must be either zero or equal to the original quantity:

The second line cannot be processed this way.

### Changed Status

The sales order has the simple|EDI status "modified": it is possible to book the shipment in whole or in part:

<Note>
  If you do not plan to send an order confirmation to Procuros, we recommend the "modified" option to be more flexible.
</Note>

## Important Remarks

For all outgoing documents, please check whether you have set the transmission to "manual" or "interval-based" on the simpleEDI setup page. If they are not set to "interval-based" they will not be sent automatically. Instead, you have to send them manually from the sales order list or from the Role Center page.

## Delivery Note Process

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check Order Status">
    Ensure the sales order has the required simple|EDI status ("accepted" or "changed") before posting shipments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Quantities">
    For "accepted" orders: Only complete shipments are allowed (quantity to ship must be zero or equal to original quantity).
    For "changed" orders: Partial shipments are permitted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Post Shipment">
    Use the standard Business Central shipment posting process. The simple\_EDI app will handle the delivery note transmission.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Transmission Settings">
    Verify your transmission settings are configured for automatic or manual sending as required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The simple|EDI status is a critical requirement for posting shipments. Make sure the order has been properly processed through the confirm/reject workflow before attempting to post delivery notes.
</Warning>

<Info>
  Delivery notes are automatically generated when shipments are posted and will be sent to Procuros based on your transmission configuration and business relationship settings.
