Delivery Note
The Delivery Note in DIGITZ ERP records the physical dispatch of goods to the customer. It represents the actual movement of stock from the organisation’s warehouse and is a key document in the fulfilment stage of the selling cycle. The Delivery Note ensures accurate tracking of delivered quantities and maintains a proper audit trail for inventory and sales operations.
A Delivery Note can be created from a Sales Order or directly from a Quotation (skipping the Sales Order), or it can even be prepared manually in urgent or ad-hoc delivery situations. This flexibility allows businesses to fulfil customer requirements efficiently while maintaining traceability across the sales flow.
