Is it compulsory to prepare a delivery note for every sales voucher?

Every sales voucher/invoice need not have a corresponding delivery note. A sales voucher/invoice itself can be treated as a delivery note. In such a case the Tracking Number is set to Not Applicable.

A delivery note is an inventory document/challan sent with the goods to be delivered to the customer. In such a case the sales invoice is issued on a later date referring the delivery note / challan issued.

Activate Delivery Note

Gateway of Tally > F: 11 Features > Inventory Features

Set the option Use Tracking Numbers (Delivery/Receipt Notes)? to Yes.

The tracking numbers link the Delivery Notes and the Invoices or Bills. This feature is available for purchases as well as sales transactions.

When Use Tracking Numbers (Delivery/Receipt Notes)? in F11: Features is enabled, you can enter the inventory documents of Receipt / Delivery Notes with details of tracking numbers. With this feature you can generate the Sales/Purchase Bills Pending reports. However, if the entries are made without defining the tracking numbers (by selecting Not Applicable for tracking numbers), the Sales/Purchase Bills Pending reports are not generated, as the transaction is assumed to be complete and there is no bill pending against the Receipt/Delivery Notes.
