When you fulfill a delivery, an EAB (electronic delivery note) is made that is sent to the systems of Royal FloraHolland. All kinds of information can be found on this delivery note. In this article, we will explain the different fields of the note.

An example of an EAB of Floriday can be seen in the image below. We will deal with the various sections of the note below.
