What a delivery chalan is for in Nepal
A delivery chalan travels with the goods. It says what left your premises, how much, where it is going and who signed for it at the other end. Suppliers in Nepal use it for deliveries against an invoice and for stock moving between a shop and a godown. They also use it for goods sent for repair and for returns going back to a supplier. The tax document is the invoice, not the chalan.
A signed chalan matters most when something is disputed. If a customer says a carton never arrived, the signed copy is your only proof.
How to fill it in
Fill your own details into the consignor block (the sender) of the Excel file and save it as the master. For each delivery, fill in a chalan number, both dates and the invoice or order number the delivery belongs to. Then fill the consignee block (the receiver) with the delivery address, and add the vehicle or carrier details. List the goods one line per item, with the unit and quantity. Rate and value columns are there if you want them, with the totals and the tax line at 13% VAT already set as formulas. Leave them blank for a plain transfer.
Print at least two copies. One goes with the driver to be signed and brought back. One stays with you.
Common mistakes
- Sending goods with no chalan and relying on the invoice. The invoice does not show who received the carton.
- Not writing the reason for the movement, so a transfer looks like a sale.
- Leaving the receiver signature blank because the delivery was in a hurry.
- No vehicle number on a load that then goes missing.
- Chalan numbers that restart or repeat, so you cannot trace a delivery back.
- Filing the signed copy loosely instead of with the invoice it belongs to.
How Kuver Books prints it automatically
In Kuver Books the delivery comes from the same chain of documents as the sale. The chalan lines are the invoice lines, so nobody retypes them. When you move stock between locations, both locations update, so no shelf count has to be fixed by hand. You can see every movement for each item. Unlimited warehouses on every plan. Batch and expiry details travel with the goods where you track them, and the stock register shows the movement as soon as it is recorded. See inventory and stock control.
