You can see that on this order, there are 20 items D2 to despatch and 10 items C4. The system automatically defaults to fill the despatch note with all items on the order which haven’t already been despatched. If you want to despatch all of these items then you’ll need to progress the Status of the despatch from Draft to either Ready to Despatch or Complete and then save the Despatch Note. Once the status is complete you will see the Despatched Amount for each despatched product increase by the despatched amount in Order Details.
If you wish to only despatch a portion of the order then you’ll need to change the despatch quantity. You can do this by double clicking on the line in the order that you wish to change and changing the number in the Despatch Quantity field.
