# Delivery Types

Set up how goods get to your clients, such as delivery or collection, and choose one on each project.

Your warehouse needs to know whether an order goes out on a truck or waits for the client to collect it. In OrderEazi, each project can have a delivery type, such as Delivery or Collection, and it's printed on the project's documents. The **Delivery Types** tab in Data Management holds the list to choose from.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Data Management** permission, in the **Settings** permission group. If you don't have it, ask your OrderEazi administrator to add it to your role.

### How to add a delivery type

1. In the main menu, go to **Settings** > **Data Management**.
2. Select the **Delivery Types** tab, then **Add Delivery Type**.
3. Enter a **Delivery Type Code**, such as "COLLECT", and a **Delivery Type Name**, such as "Collection". Each can be up to 32 characters.
4. Select **Confirm**.

You see "Delivery type created successfully." The list shows each type as its code and name, such as "\[COLLECT] Collection".

To change one, open the menu on its row, select **Edit**, change the code or name, and select **Confirm**. Projects that use it show the new code.

### How delivery types show on projects

When there's more than one delivery type, the project's delivery details show **Select Delivery Type**. With only one, there's nothing to choose, and the dropdown isn't shown. The type you choose is printed as **Delivery Type** on the project's documents.

**Example:** You add "\[COLLECT] Collection" and "\[DELIV] Delivery". A client says they'll fetch their order, so the rep chooses Collection on the project. The Sales Order and Delivery Note show "Delivery Type: Collection", and the warehouse keeps the goods for collection instead of booking a driver.

### How to delete a delivery type

Open the menu on its row, select **Delete**, and confirm. A delivery type used on a project can't be deleted. You see "This delivery type cannot be removed as it is being used on one or more projects."

### When a delivery type can't be saved

* **"Delivery Type code already exists." or "Delivery Type name already exists.":** Use a code and name no other type has.
* **"Delivery Type code cannot be empty." or "Delivery Type name cannot be empty.":** Fill in both fields.
