Multiple Orders

It is a Tradacoms standard that one delivery note should result in one invoice. One order may result in more than one delivery in which case each delivery must have a separate delivery note and one invoice message must relate to only one delivery note. The order reference must be quoted in every invoice message relating to that order.
