The Despatches/Receipts Due form includes a sticky Include line notes checkbox. The checkbox retains its checked or unchecked state each time the form is opened.
The printed report now displays any line note content directly beneath the relevant line item.
For CSV and XLS exports, line notes are placed in a series of cells to the right of the existing line item data. Each cell contains one line of the line note in sequence. This structure helps to minimise the risk of data being truncated in the exported file.
