A delivery note (also called a dispatch note) is a document of goods movement: it accompanies a shipment, lists the items and quantities so the customer can check the consignment against what was ordered, and is signed as proof of delivery — it typically does not show prices, tax or payment terms and has no fiscal value. An invoice is a document of accounting: it is issued (usually after delivery) to request payment and must include unit prices, totals, tax and payment terms. The delivery note is issued at or before delivery; the invoice follows. This tool generates the delivery note — use a dedicated invoice tool to bill the customer.

A clear delivery note includes: the title (“Delivery Note”) and a unique sequential number; the issue / delivery date; the supplier’s name and address (FROM); the customer’s name and address (DELIVER TO), plus a separate delivery address if it differs; a reference linking it to the purchase order or invoice; an itemised table of each line’s description, quantity and unit (with optional batch / serial numbers for traceability); optional transport details such as mode, vehicle number and consignment / docket number; a notes line for the condition of the goods; and two signature lines — one for the supplier dispatching and one for the person receiving, each with a date. This generator lets you toggle each field and lays it out for you.

In India a delivery challan is issued under Rule 55 of the CGST Rules to transport goods where a tax invoice is not appropriate — for example supply of goods on approval, transport for job work, branch / stock transfer, removal of goods where the quantity is not yet known, or where the transaction is not a supply. It generally carries a serially-numbered challan number and date, the consignor and consignee details with GSTIN where registered, the HSN code and description of goods, the quantity, the taxable value, the place of supply and the tax breakdown where applicable. If the consignment value exceeds the prescribed threshold you must also generate an e-way bill. The tool’s Delivery Challan mode adds GSTIN, HSN, place of supply and a value column — but confirm the current legal requirements for your case.

Everything runs client-side. Your supplier and customer names, addresses, GSTINs, reference numbers, item descriptions, batch numbers and transport details stay on your device, and the print-ready PDF is assembled right in your browser with the pdf-lib library — no upload, no server, no CDN and no tracking, so it is safe for business and customer data. An optional “Save draft” keeps a copy only in this browser’s localStorage, which you can clear with Reset, and the page works offline once cached.
