# Manage Delivery Challans

Let us take a look at the various actions you can perform on a delivery challan.

### Mark as Delivered

Once your goods are successfully delivered to the destination, you can mark the associated delivery challan as delivered. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan associated with the goods that were delivered.
*   Click **Mark as Delivered** at the top of the page.

* * *

### Convert to Invoice

If you created a delivery challan to deliver goods for a sale, you can create an invoice for it. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan for which you want to create an invoice.
*   Click the **More** icon at the top of the page and select **Convert to Invoice**.
*   In the _New Invoice_ page, the invoice details will be auto-populated.
*   Verify the details and click **Save & Send** to send the invoice to your customer.

**Note:** To view the invoice associated with a delivery challan, go to \*\*Delivery Challans\*\* under \*Sales\*, select a Delivery Challan, and click the \*\*Invoices\*\* tab on the details page.

**Pro tip:** If only some items from your delivery challan were sold, you can create an invoice for those specific items. Then, the delivery challan will be marked as \*\*Partially Invoiced\*\*.

* * *

### Mark as Returned

If your goods were not delivered to the destination and had to be returned, you can mark the corresponding delivery challan as returned. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan associated with the returned goods.
*   Click the **More** icon at the top of the page and select **Mark as Returned**.
*   Click **Return** in the confirmation pop-up that appears. Note that this action cannot be reverted.

**Note:** To view the returned items of a Delivery Challan, go to \*\*Delivery Challans\*\* under \*Sales\*, select a Delivery Challan, and click the \*\*Returned Items\*\* tab on the details page.

* * *

### Record Partial Return

**Note:** You can record a partial return for delivery challans that have been partially invoiced.

After delivering the items in an order, if your customer accepts and purchases only some of them, you can record a return for the remaining items. Let’s consider a scenario to understand this better.

**Scenario:** Manish dispatched three boxes of raw materials to a manufacturing firm and issued a delivery challan for their transportation. However, upon delivery, he discovers that the customer needed only two boxes. Therefore, Manish can generate an invoice for two boxes and record a partial return for the remaining box.

To record a partial return for the items in your delivery challan:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan associated with the partially returned goods.
*   Click the _More_ icon at the top of the page and select **Record Partial Returns**.
*   Select the items that were returned and enter their quantity in the pop-up that appears.
*   Click **Proceed**.

**Note:** You can record only one return on a delivery challan. To record another return, you must undo the first return and then re-record it.

* * *

### Undo Partial Return

If you want to undo a partial return that you recorded:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan for which you want to undo the return.
*   Click the _More_ icon at the top of the page and select **Undo Partial Returns**.

Now, your transaction will be restored to its original state before the partial return was initiated.

* * *

### Customise Delivery Challan Template

You can customise the [PDF template](/billing/help/settings/customisation/templates.html) for a delivery challan. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Delivery Challans** under _Sales_.
*   Select the delivery challan for which you want to customise the template.
*   In the details page, hover over the delivery challan PDF and click the **Customize** dropdown in the top right corner to customize the template.

* * *
