Unfortunately, I couldn't find any instructions in the documentation on how to create a delivery note. I've already created a template for the delivery note under the "Invoice Templates" menu item. However, prices are always displayed in the [ITEMS] tag. How can I hide the prices, and more importantly, how can I generate a delivery note? Only one invoice is printed in the order summary. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Peter, what you are asking is a feature that would be printing packaging slips, as I understand it.
This is something that is not offered in J2Commerce v4 out of the box (to my knowledge, there is no add-on for it), but someting you can test in J2Commerce v6.
Not that I have not tested what I am saying next:
- create a new order status named 'Ready for Packing' (under 'Localization', last menu option)
- go check the doc https://docs.j2commerce.com/design/invoice-template-pro-feature (there it will tell you how to create an override for the order items, for example to remove the price when $this->order->transaction_status is set to the packing status).
Now, when you print an order and the order has the packing status, the price is removed.
You can add your own message the same way in the orderitems.php override. Just make it conditional to your status.
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
I just downloaded the beta and will be testing it. However, another issue has come up in the meantime. In Germany and the European Union, we also need a credit note (cancellation invoice) for our accounting. It would be great if all three documents (invoice, packing slips, and credit note) were available in the backend. The credit note must also be sent to the customer. There is a corresponding plugin for WooCommerce:

Yes, you already get 2 out of 3 for free with J2Commerce v6!
I'll see whith Adam how we can get the credit notes added.
It may not be ready at launch (this is a rather complex workflow to incorporate) but I see this to be necessary, when there are refunds involved, for instance, or for any invoice correction.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Olivier.
