About DokumentenPilot
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
DokumentenPilot generates all common business documents directly from your WooCommerce orders. It supports partial deliveries, a full B2B quote workflow, and legally compliant credit notes – all from a single interface.
Five Document Types
- Delivery Notes – Including partial delivery notes: select which items and quantities are shipped per parcel, and DokumentenPilot tracks the delivery status automatically
- Quotes / Estimates – Create quotes, generate a PDF, send it to the customer, and convert it to a WooCommerce order with one click

- Proforma Invoices – For customs and advance payments

How does quote conversion work?
You create a quote in the admin area, add items (from the WooCommerce product catalogue or manually), generate a PDF and send it to the customer. When the customer accepts, you convert the quote to a WooCommerce order with one click.
Is the plugin GoBD compliant?
DokumentenPilot uses gapless document numbers and calculates SHA-256 hashes for all PDFs. The audit log can be exported. GoBD-compliant invoicing is handled by RechnungsPilot.
