Are a DDT and an invoice the same thing?

No. The DDT physically accompanies the goods and certifies transport. The invoice documents the consideration and has fiscal value. They often arrive separately and must be cross-checked.

What should I do when a DDT does not match the delivery?

Note the discrepancy immediately on the slip or with a photo note. In archim you can add notes to the digital document to keep track of the dispute.

Can archim read handwritten DDTs?

archim proposes the fields it can read from a photo or PDF. Review and confirm them, especially with handwriting or unclear images; recognition is not guaranteed.
