Delivery Note in Tally.ERP 9: A Guide to Streamlining Sales and Inventory


In Tally.ERP9, a Delivery Note is a document that is created to record the delivery of goods from one location to another. It is usually created by the supplier or the seller to document the delivery of goods to the customer or the buyer.

Here are the steps to create a Delivery Note in Tally.ERP9:

Delivery Note


  • Go to the main menu and select "Inventory Vouchers."
  • Select "Delivery Note" from the list of available vouchers.
  • Enter the details of the customer or the buyer, such as the name, address, and contact information.
  • Enter the details of the goods being delivered, such as the quantity, description, and unit price.
  • Select the ledger accounts for both the customer and the goods being delivered.
  • Save the Delivery Note.

Once the Delivery Note is saved, it can be printed and given to the customer as proof of delivery. The information entered in the Delivery Note can also be used to create other documents, such as an invoice or a receipt.

In Tally.ERP9, the Delivery Note can also be used to update the stock records and the accounts records. When a Delivery Note is created, it updates the stock records to reflect the reduction in stock due to the delivery of goods. It also updates the accounts records to reflect the sale of goods and the accounts receivable from the customer.
