Record Sales Order and Delivery Note in TallyPrime

A Sales Order is a document generated and shared by the seller with the customer. Once you receive a Purchase Order from the customer with the details of the product required, you can confirm the sale and delivery of that product by issuing the Sales Order. Once the goods are delivered, you can record sales against the Sales Order. You can also Record Delivery note against the Sales Order and then record sales against the delivery note.

A Sales Order indicates the product details, quantity, and agreed price. Once the goods are sold you can track the sales order in the delivery note or in the sales invoice depending on your business practice.

1. Select the Party A/c Name.
2. Select the Delivery Note reference.
  The details from the Delivery Note reflect in the Sales Voucher. If you have generated the Delivery Note against a Sales Order, that sales order details are also prefilled.
  
  If you want to generate the bill against the Sales Order without selecting the delivery note tracking number, you can select End of List and press Ctrl+A to return to the sales invoice. Make changes in the items/quantities, if required.
As always, press Ctrl+A to save.

A Delivery Note is closed if billed completely. The details appear in the Sales Bill Pending report if it is partially closed.

Record Sales with New Tracking Number

If you want to record a Sales Invoice before a Delivery Note, you can record the invoice with a Tracking Number and track it in the Delivery Note. The transaction is accounted against the party ledger without updating the stock value and appears as Bills made but goods not delivered in the Sales Bill Pending report.

Ensure the tracking number feature is enabled.
Record the sales invoice.
1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > Create Voucher > press F8 (Sales).
  Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Vouchers > press F8 (Sales).
2. Select the party ledger and stock item.
3. In the Stock Item Allocations screen:
  - Select New Number for the Tracking No.
  - Enter the New Number.
4. Enter the Quantity and Rate. The Amount appears.
5. Press Enter to return to the sales invoice.
As always, press Ctrl+A to save.

You can use the tracking number of the sales invoice in the Delivery Note.

Disable the Tracking Number

To prevent the Tracking Number from being displayed in the transaction, after all your Delivery Notes have been consumed by generating a Sales bill against them, or after generating a Delivery Note against a Sales bill, you can deactivate the Delivery Note voucher type altogether.

Press Alt+G (Go To) > Alter Master > type or select Delivery Note > press Enter.
Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Alter > type or select Delivery Note > press Enter.
The Voucher Type Alteration screen appears.
Set the option to Activate this Voucher Type to No.
Press Y to accept the screen. As always, press Ctrl+A to save the Voucher Type Alteration.

As a result of this change, the Delivery Note voucher types are deactivated, and the Tracking Number no longer appears in the transaction unless you are specifically reactivating it.

Similarly, you can disable the Tracking Number in the Purchase ledger by deactivating the Receipt Note voucher type. As a result, the Tracking Number no longer appears in the transaction.

Record Rejections In against Delivery Note

Rejections In vouchers are used when the customer rejects or returns goods. The transaction is recorded after raising a Delivery Note but before raising a Sales Voucher.

Press Alt+G (Go To) > Create Voucher > F10 (Other Vouchers) > type or select Rejections In.
Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Vouchers > F10 (Other Vouchers) > type or select Rejections In.
You can activate the Rejections In voucher type if the voucher is inactive. Select Yes or press Y to proceed.
Provide the party details and stock item details.
1. Under Ledger Account, select the party’s name who returned the goods.
  The party’s name appears under Customer’s Name and Address with the address entered in the ledger master.
2. Select the stock item.
  In the Item Allocations screen, the same appears if you had recorded a delivery note with a tracking number. You can select the relevant tracking number.
3. Enter the Quantity and Rate.
  
  In F12 (Configure) configuration, enable the options Show Batch Wise Details and Show Godown–wise Details to view the batch and godown details in the invoice.
As always, press Ctrl+A to save.

The stock increased to the extent of the quantity entered in the Rejections In vouchers.

Know your Sales Bills Pending

Sales Bills Pending report lists all instances of incomplete sales, where goods may have been delivered but not invoiced. It also lists instances of invoices raised but against which goods have not been delivered.

When the Delivery notes or Rejections In voucher is recorded with a new tracking number, but the Sales invoice (or voucher) or Credit note is not linked to it, the inventory details are updated, but accounting entries are pending. Similarly, if you have entered a Sales invoice or Credit Note with a new tracking number, but the Delivery Note or Rejections In voucher is not linked to it, the accounting details are updated, but inventory entries are pending.

This report lists transactions of Goods Delivered but bills not Made and Sales bills to make.

Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select Sales Bills Pending.
Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > Statements of Inventory > Sales Bills Pending.

A sample image of the Sales Bills Pending screen appears, as shown below:
