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.

India specifics

As part of the GST roll out, an electronic waybill (e-Way) is required for the movement of goods, whether interstate or intrastate. The e-Way can be generated on the GSTN portal. A movement of goods of more than Rs 50,000 in value cannot be made by a registered person without an e-Way bill.

Optionally, a registered person or the transporter can generate and carry the e-Way bill even if the value of the consignment is less than Rs 50,000.

After the e-Way bill in generated on the common portal, a unique e-Way bill number (EBN) is available to the vendor, the recipient, and the transporter on the common portal.
