When a challan is required
A delivery challan is required whenever goods move without an immediate tax invoice — goods sent on approval, sent for job work, moved between your own branches, or supplied where the exact quantity or value isn't known at dispatch time.
It must carry a date and number, the details of the goods, and the delivery address, even though tax isn't charged at that point.
The month-end problem challans create
The common pain point: a customer receives goods across five separate challans through the month, and at month-end you need to bill all five as one clean invoice without manually re-typing every line item.
LedgrBook lets you select multiple challans and combine them into a single invoice automatically, carrying over every line item and quantity — a workflow this article was written to explain because it trips up almost every business new to challans.
LedgrBook handles this automatically. The parts of this guide your bills already know.
