Dispatch notes

Dispatch notes the retailer will actually accept.
Per-customer format. Per-batch COA attached. Audit trail per send.

Every retailer thinks its dispatch-note format is the only sensible format. Tesco wants its block. Lidl wants its barcode. M&S wants its EAN-13 on the line. SuperValu, Centra, SPAR and Musgrave each want their own quirks. In Excel you handle this with five templates and one person who remembers which is which. In Keystone, dispatch notes generate from the order in the format the destination customer expects, every time.

  • Built-in templates: Tesco IE, Lidl, M&S, SuperValu, Centra, SPAR, Musgrave
  • Auto-attach per-batch COA on every dispatch
  • Audit trail of every send, who, when, to which address
  • Email straight from the system or one-click PDF
Why dispatch notes are still a problem in 2026

A bad dispatch note is rejected at the gate.

It does not matter how good the cheese is if the dispatch note is wrong. A missing batch reference, a wrong customer SKU, a missing weight, a CMR-style address mismatch, and the pallet sits at the depot until somebody from your team drives over. Keystone treats the dispatch note as a serious operational artefact: every field is sourced from the batch, the order and the customer record, with the customer-specific template applied automatically.

What you get

A dispatch note built from the order, not retyped.

Customer-specific template
Each customer has its own dispatch-note template, formatted exactly the way they expect. You change a template in the designer; no code change, no support ticket.
Auto-attach COA
Per-batch Certificate of Analysis auto-attaches to the dispatch PDF, or sits as a separate PDF if the customer prefers that.
Customer SKU on the line
The customer's private-label code appears next to your internal code on the dispatch note. No mental translation at the receiving dock.
Audit trail per send
Every send is logged: which version, who sent it, when, to which email. A rejection 3 weeks later is investigatable in 30 seconds.
Email or PDF
Email straight from Keystone with signed PDF attached, or download for upload to a customer portal.
Where this sits

Operations layer, finance stays where it is.

Keystone publishes invoiced sales to AccountsIQ, Sage, Xero or QuickBooks when the dispatch ships. Your accounts team does not change anything. The dispatch note itself is operational, it lives in Keystone, with the batch chain, the COA, the customer SKU and the audit trail all linked.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

What about Aldi or Marks & Spencer quirks?
Per-customer templates handle these. We have shipped Aldi and M&S formats live with our founding partner.
Can a customer request a different template tomorrow?
Yes, update the template in the designer. Effective immediately. No code release, no support ticket.
Can the dispatch note carry the courier reference?
Yes, courier reference, container reference and CMR-style addresses are fields on the dispatch.
What if a retailer rejects a dispatch and we need to resend?
Re-issue with one click; the new version is logged separately so the audit trail is intact.
Can we have multi-language dispatch notes?
Yes, per-customer language. Common across export markets.
