Delivery notes and GST delivery challans

Send goods with the right paper. A delivery note lists what’s delivered — with or without prices — and gets signed on receipt. In India, GST delivery challans cover deliveries in lots, job work, goods on approval, exhibitions and repairs, in three copies.

What you can do with it

Delivery notes

From an invoice or on their own; prices shown or hidden; Mark Delivered when signed.

Six challan purposes

Lots against an invoice, job work, approval, exhibition, repair, unknown quantity.

Three copies, one PDF

Original for consignee, duplicate for transporter, triplicate for consigner.

Never beyond the invoice

Deliveries in lots are checked against the invoice’s quantities.

How it works

Four steps, no training needed

  1. Start from the invoice

    More → Create Delivery Note or Create Delivery Challan — what’s left to deliver fills in.

  2. Choose the purpose

    For a challan, the purpose sets the tax and the e-way bill sub-type.

  3. Issue and send

    Numbered DLN- or DC-, sent, shared or printed like any document.

  4. Close the loop

    Mark Delivered, or for goods on approval, convert what the customer kept.

Goods on approval

Invoice only what they kept

Send goods on approval with a challan. When the customer decides, Convert to Invoice asks what they kept per line — those quantities become a tax invoice draft; the rest are returned. A week before six months pass, the Brand’s people are reminded, because goods not returned count as supplied.

Delivery notes

Proof of delivery, signed

Delivery notes carry no tax and never change what a customer owes. “Delivered by” and a “Received in good condition — name, signature and date” line make them proof of delivery; Mark Delivered records who received it and when.

Where they’re availableDelivery notes work in every country. GST delivery challans are for Organizations in India using GST invoicing. Turn either on in Settings → Features.
