What this guide covers
Know every major section the PDF renders and what it intentionally excludes. This guide follows the supplied Delivery Note module’s live hooks, controller actions, model rules, views and stored side effects.
Exact step-by-step process
- Open the PDF.
- Review company branding and document reference.
- Check invoice/date and issue/delivery address cards.
- Review delivery method, delivered by, tracking and recipient information.
- Review the delivered-items table with description, quantity and unit.
- Review notes, confirmation, signature and QR/secure-link area.
- Check continuation pages when item content exceeds one page.
Fields, choices and supported possibilities
- A4 portrait layout
- Brand/logo and company details
- Reference and invoice data
- Delivery and recipient cards
- Delivered-item snapshot
- Notes and signature evidence
- QR/secure stamp
- Footer
Code-backed validations and workflow rules
- Commercial prices are not printed; the invoice remains the commercial document.
- Long item content can continue onto extra pages with repeated document context.
- Unsigned PDFs show a signature placeholder; signed PDFs can embed the stored signature data.
- Missing snapshot items render a clear no-items message.
Expected result and verification
- The PDF represents the delivery evidence without replacing the source invoice.
Checks, security and troubleshooting
- Confirm the status and reference before treating a printed copy as final.
Stay within the supported flowDo not force database values, expose secure tokens, bypass permission checks, replace a stored signature or invent a status or interface that the supplied code does not implement.
