Question 1

What is a dispatch order or delivery challan?

Accepted Answer

A dispatch order, also called a delivery challan or delivery note, is a document that accompanies goods in transit. It records what is being shipped, from whom, to whom, and by what vehicle - without necessarily being a tax invoice or demand for payment.

Question 2

Is a delivery challan the same as an invoice?

Accepted Answer

No. A delivery challan documents the physical movement of goods and is typically not treated as a tax invoice. Billing usually happens on a separate invoice, either before or after dispatch, depending on your process.

Question 3

Do I need to include item values on a dispatch note?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Many dispatch notes list only descriptions and quantities. This tool lets you optionally include a declared value per item, useful for insurance or customs purposes, without turning the document into an invoice.

Question 4

Can I record vehicle and driver details?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are fields for vehicle number, driver name and transporter, which are commonly required for goods movement documentation and checkpoint verification.
