A delivery note

The note that travels with the goods: a barcode against each article, a box the receiver ticks, and the consignment's own code.

A delivery note lists what left the warehouse, line by line, and is signed by whoever receives it. Each line carries the barcode a scanner reads the article back by, the consignment has a code of its own, and a box at the foot is ticked by the receiver.

What makes it worth reading as an example is where the barcodes come from: once the table is in place, it is asked where each row begins and how tall it is, and the barcode is drawn into that rectangle. Nothing is measured by hand, so a row that grows taller does not push its own barcode out of place.

What this example shows

  • The exact position of every row, asked of the table instead of guessed.
  • One scannable barcode per article, and one for the consignment.
  • A signature and receipt block the carrier fills in on paper.
