Sales transport documentation
A sales delivery form or note includes a description and quantity of the goods delivered and accompanies a shipment of goods. A copy of the delivery note, signed by the customer, is returned to the vendor as proof of delivery.
Sales delivery forms are pre-numbered based on chronological order so that companies can account for all forms and keep track of transactions.
A bill of lading can also be electronic.
Transport documents are required as a proof of sale while goods are in transit. These documents must support the legal or cultural requirements that differ by country.
Delivery way bills are documents that support the transfer of goods between different addresses.
