The Delivery Order module is used to create the official shipping document or Delivery Order (DO) that will be sent along with the goods to the customer. The creation of a Delivery Order is based on a Sales Order whose items have already been allocated from stock. This module is the execution step in the goods shipment process.
1. Main View (Delivery Order List)
The main page of this module displays a list of all Delivery Order documents that have been created.
View Explanation

2. Steps to Create a Delivery Order
Step 1: Create a New Document
From the Main View, click the [New] or [New Direct] button to open the Add Delivery Order form.
Step 2: Select the Shipping Reference
On the form that appears, the first step is to select the Shipping Instruction Number. This usually refers to the Sales Order whose goods have been allocated and are ready to ship. Once selected, the system will automatically load the customer details and the list of items to be shipped.
Step 3: Verify and Input the Ship Quantity
The system will display the Quantity on SO (the quantity ordered) and Remaining (the quantity not yet shipped).
In the input column Receive now or 'Ship Quantity', enter the quantity that you are physically shipping at this time. This allows you to perform a partial shipment.
Select the goods' picking location in the Bin Name column.
Step 4: Record Shipping Details
Fill in relevant logistics details such as Vehicle Number and Driver.
Step 5: Confirm the Shipment
After all data is filled in, click the [Confirm] button. This action will finalize the Delivery Order and officially reduce the on-hand stock quantity from your warehouse. This document can then be printed to accompany the shipment.
Tips & Important Notes
The creation of a Delivery Order is the step that physically and from an accounting perspective removes the goods from your inventory.
After the Delivery Order is created and the goods are shipped, the next step in the sales cycle is the creation of the Sales Invoice by the finance team.
This is a crucial daily work module for the Shipping Warehouse team.
