Cause

The delivery note cannot be sent via e-mail. Instead you can use the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) to send information to your product recipient.

A delivery note is meant for being used as the accompanying document with a shipment. In case, the customer has to be notified in advance about the delivery then Advanced Shipping Notification should be used.

  1. Navigate to Account Management work center.
  2. Select Accounts view.
  3. Select the Account.
  4. Click on Edit and then General.
  5. Go to Communication tab.

  9. Maintain the E-mail address in the column E-mail.
  10. In the column Template, you can select the output template for Advanced Shipping Notification.
