What is a delivery note

A delivery note, also called a packing slip, travels with a shipment and lists exactly what was sent, without prices. The recipient signs or checks it off against what actually arrives, which is what makes it the reference document for confirming a delivery, separate from billing for it.

How to create a delivery note online

  1. Add your company details and the recipient's delivery address.
  2. Give the delivery note a unique number and set the delivery date.
  3. List each item being shipped with a description and quantity.
  4. Add carrier and tracking details if relevant, then download the PDF and include it with the shipment.

What to include on a delivery note

  • A unique delivery note number and the delivery date.
  • Your business details and the recipient's delivery address.
  • Each item shipped, with description and quantity, but no prices.
  • Carrier name and tracking number, if the shipment is going through a courier.
  • A space for the recipient to sign or note any items missing or damaged on arrival.

Delivery note vs goods received note (GRN)

The delivery note is created by the vendor and travels with the shipment, listing what was sent. A goods received note (GRN) is the buyer's own record, created after unpacking and checking the delivery against it, confirming what actually arrived and in what condition. Matching the delivery note, the GRN, and the purchase order together before paying an invoice is called a three-way match, and it is how a short or damaged delivery gets caught before you pay for it in full.

Delivery note vs invoice

A delivery note confirms what was shipped, with no prices attached. An invoice is the request for payment for those goods, sent separately with pricing and totals. Keeping the two apart means a delivery dispute never gets tangled up with a billing one.

What is the difference between a delivery note and an invoice?

A delivery note lists the items shipped to a customer without prices, confirming what was delivered. An invoice is a request for payment that includes pricing and totals.

Can I add carrier and tracking information to a delivery note?

Yes. You can add the carrier name and tracking number to your delivery note so the recipient can track their shipment.

Is a delivery note the same as a packing slip?

Yes, "delivery note" and "packing slip" refer to the same document in most industries: a list of what was shipped, without pricing, that travels with the goods.

Is a delivery note the same as a goods received note?

No. The vendor creates the delivery note and sends it with the shipment. The buyer creates the goods received note (GRN) separately, after inspecting what actually arrived, to confirm it matches.

How do I match a delivery note against an invoice?

Check that the items and quantities on the vendor's invoice match what the delivery note says was shipped, and what a goods received note confirms actually arrived. Doing this for the purchase order, delivery note, and invoice together is called a three-way match.
