Overview
This update introduces several key enhancements to the way deliveries can be tracked through Delivery Notes, Jobs, and Invoices. These improvements aim to ensure that carrier information, consignment numbers, and URLs are accessible and linked correctly. Additionally, the updates add better visibility for the Customer PO number and introduce new grid columns to enhance data accessibility and clarity.

2. URL Linking Correctly
The consignment URL has been corrected to properly link to the carrier's tracking page.
Previous Issue:
The system incorrectly appended the supplier’s URL after the eStore domain, leading to broken links.Fix:
The URL now combines the Supplier's URL and the Consignment Number into a functional tracking link.
Example:
Supplier URL:

- Details:

- This column links to the Customer Order Number from the corresponding Order.
4. Grid Enhancements
Additional columns have been added to the grids for Delivery, Jobs, and Invoices to improve accessibility of delivery-related details.
New Columns Added:
