How to Enable the Deliveries Module

The Deliveries module allows your branch to accurately track the receipt of items against purchase orders (POs).

Step-by-Step Guide to Enable Deliveries

1. Click on the dropdown menu in the top-right corner of the application and select "Manage Branch".

2. Select "Branch Profile" from the left-hand panel.

3. Locate the "Deliveries Enabled?" dropdown option and set it to "Yes".

4. Click "Save Branch" at the bottom right of the page.

Once enabled, a new "Deliveries" option will appear under the Transactions section in your left-hand toolbar, allowing you to manage and track delivery notes on open POs.

What is the Deliveries Module Used For?

The Delivery tracking feature is used to record and manage the physical receipt of goods and services that have been ordered on a Purchase Order.

Contribution to the 3-Way Match

The Deliveries module is a critical component of the 3-Way Match process. This process compares three documents to ensure accuracy before payment is processed:

1. Purchase Order (PO): What was ordered.
2. Delivery Note (from the Deliveries Module): What was physically received.
3. Invoice: What the supplier is billing you for.

By accurately recording deliveries, you establish proof of receipt, which is necessary to validate that an invoice should be paid, preventing discrepancies and unauthorized payments.
