Operational documents: receipts, delivery notes, credit notes | CRMconnect

In short

Practical guides to operational documents: what they contain, when they are required, and how they are generated automatically.

What this pillar covers

Most administrative hours in a company are not spent on decisions, but on documents: a manually filled receipt note, a delivery note that never gets invoiced, a proforma mistaken for a tax invoice, a credit note without a reference, or a bank statement matched in Excel.

Each page in this pillar explains how documents should look in practice and shows how to generate them automatically from the operation that produced them - receiving, shipping, or collection.

The CRMconnect position remains clear: documents are issued and reconciled in CRMconnect, while statutory accounting remains in your accounting software, with data transferred using pre-mapped accounts.
