Introduction to SKYBIZ Delivery Order

A Delivery Order (DO) is a document issued by a seller, supplier, or logistics provider to authorize the release or delivery of goods to a customer. It contains key details such as the recipient’s name and address, product descriptions, quantities, delivery date, and reference to the related sales order or invoice. While it is not a billing document, the delivery order serves as proof that goods have been dispatched or delivered. In accounting and inventory management, delivery orders help track the movement of goods, update stock levels, and support the billing process by linking deliveries to sales invoices.
