Create a delivery note

POST 

/api/v1/documents/delivery-note

Issue a delivery note โ€” the document that travels with the goods.

The body is the same Canonical Invoice Model payload POST /invoices takes, plus the despatch details. show_prices defaults to false: a delivery note conventionally shows quantities and descriptions, because the person receiving the pallet is not the person who agreed the price. Set it true for a priced packing list.

This is not a tax document. It is never sent over Peppol, never reported to a tax authority, never appears in a tax report, never consumes a number from your invoice sequence and never counts against your plan allowance. The PDF says plainly that it is neither a tax invoice nor a request for payment.

invoice_reference is free text โ€” a transaction id or an invoice number โ€” and is never resolved, because the invoice usually does not exist yet when the goods leave.

The document is numbered from your own delivery-note sequence (DN-2026-00001), independent of both your invoice numbers and your pro formas.
