Creating an Automated Message to give the customer tracking details

If an order is being sent by a shipping company, these details can be sent to the customer with a delivery note included

Updated over a week ago

If the tracking details are entered into the purchase order by the supplier and the delivery note is created from that, they are copied to the delivery note. Otherwise, they can be manually entered on the delivery note for use in this message.
