+<p> <b> A Delivery Note is made when a shipment is shipped from the company’s Warehouse to the customer.</b></p>
+
+<p align="justify">A copy of the Delivery Note is usually sent with the transporter. The Delivery Note contains the list of Items that are sent in the shipment and updates the inventory. The Delivery Note is an optional step and a Sales Invoice can be created directly from a Sales Order.</p>
+
+<p><b>To access the Delivery Note list, go to:</b></p>
+
+<blockquote>Stock > Stock Transactions > Delivery Note</blockquote>
+
+<h2> 1. Prerequisites </h2>
+<p> Before creating and using a Delivery Note, it is advised that you create the following first:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="https://docs.gostride.io/sales/sales-order">Sales Order</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> 2. How to create a Delivery Note </h2>
+<p align="justify"> The entry of the Delivery Note is very similar to a Purchase Receipt. It is usually created from a “Submitted” Sales Order (that is not shipped) by clicking on Create > Delivery.</p>
+<p>To create a Delivery Note manually (not recommended), follow these steps:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Go to the Delivery Note list, click on New.</li>
+<li>The Customer and Item details can be fetched by clicking on 'Get Items from > Sales Order'.</li>
+<li>The UOM and Rates will be fetched automatically.</li>
+<li>Save and Submit.</li>
+</ol>
+<img src="/files/create delivery notes.png">
+
+<p align="justify"> To fetch Items from a Sales Order, click on Get Items from > Sales Order. This will open a popup from where you can search for Sales Orders and select one.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">You will notice that all the information about unshipped Items and other details are carried over from your Sales Order if you create the Delivery Note from there.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"> You can also edit the posting date and time, the current date and time are set when you create the Delivery Note.</p>
+
+<h3> 2.1 Statuses </h3>
+<p> These are the statuses a Delivery Note can be in:</p>
+<ol>
+<li><b>Draft:</b> A draft is saved but yet to be submitted to the system.</li>
+<li><b>To Bill:</b> Yet to be billed using a <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/accounting/sales-invoice">Sales Invoice</a></li>
+<li><b>Completed: </b> Submitted and sent all the Items.</li>
+<li><b>Return Issued:</b> All the Items have been returned.</li>
+<li><b>Cancelled:</b> Cancelled the Delivery Note.</li>
+<li><b>Closed: </b> The purpose of the Close is to manage short-closing. For example, your Customer ordered for 20 qty but closed at 15 qty. The remaining 5 is not to be sent or billed.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h3>2.2 Partial Deliveries </h3>
+<p align="justify"> When you create a Delivery Note from a Sales Order, the quantities can be changed. So if the Sales Order contains 10 Items to be delivered and you're delivering only 5 this week and the remaining next week, then you can create 2 Delivery Notes in two weeks.</p>
+
+<h2> 3. Details </h2>
+<h3> 3.1 Customer Purchase Order Details </h3>
+<p> You can enter the Customer's Purchase Order number here for Reference.</p>
+
+<h3> 3.2 Currency and Price List </h3>
+<p align="justify"> You can set the currency in which the Deliver Note is to be sent. This is usually fetched if set in the Sales Order. If you set a Pricing List, then the item prices will be fetched from that list. Ticking on <b>Ignore Pricing Rule</b> will ignore the Pricing Rules set in Accounts > Pricing Rule.</p>
+
+<h3> 3.3 Warehouses </h3>
+<ul>
+<li><b>Set Source Warehouse:</b> This is where the Items will be sourced from to send to the Customer.</li>
+<li><b>To Warehouse:</b> In a regular Sales scenario, the Item exits your Warehouse and reaches the Customer. However, if you wish to retain sample stock, enter a Warehouse here.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3> 3.4 Items Table </h3>
+<ul>
+<li><b> Barcode:</b> You can track Items using barcodes.</li>
+<li>The Item Code, name, description, Image, and Manufacturer will be fetched from the Item master.</li>
+<li><b> Scan Barcode: </b> You can add Items in the Items table by scanning their barcodes if you have a barcode scanner. </li>
+<li><b> Discount and Margin:</b> You can apply a discount on individual Items percentage-wise or the total amount of the Item. </li>

+<li><b>Quality Inspection</b>: If for certain Items, it is mandatory to record Quality Inspections (if you have set it in your Item master), you will need to update the “Quality Inspection" field. The system will only allow you to “Submit” the Delivery Note if you update the “Quality Inspection”. </li>
+<p align="justify"> After enabling Inspection Criteria in the <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/stock/item">Item form </a> for Sales and attaching a Quality Inspection Template there, Quality Inspections can be recorded in Delivery Notes.</p>
+<li><b> Batch No and Serial No: </b> If your Item is serialized or batched, you will have to enter <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/stock/serial-no">Serial Number</a> and <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/stock/batch">Batch</a> in the Items table. You are allowed to enter multiple Serial Numbers in one row (each on a separate line) and you must enter the same number of Serial Numbers as the quantity.</li>

+<p align="justify"> <b>Note:</b>The Item has to be serialized or batched for these features to work. If the Item is serialized a popup will appear where you can enter the Serial Numbers.</p>
+<li><b> Expense Account</b> is the account from which the amount will be debited. Ticking on 'Allow Zero Valuation Rate' will allow submitting the Delivery Note even if the Valuation Rate of the Item is 0. This can be a sample item or due to a mutual understanding with your Supplier.</li>
+<li><b>Accounting Dimensions</b> help to tag each transaction with different Dimensions without the need for creating new Cost Centers. You need to create Accounting Dimensions first, to know more, visit <a href= "https://docs.gostride.io/accounting/accounting-dimensions"> this page.</a></li>
