When and why is it used?
A delivery note is used whenever goods are shipped from seller to buyer, regardless of whether the delivery is part of a sale, return, or internal transfer. It serves multiple purposes:
Acts as a checklist for both sender and receiver to confirm that the order was fulfilled.
Serves as proof of delivery, especially when signed by the recipient.
Helps in managing returns, claims, or stock discrepancies.
Useful for internal documentation and warehouse management.
Unlike an invoice, a delivery note doesn’t include a payment request.
