Delivery note template: goods handover with signature line
A delivery note lists which goods are delivered to whom and when, and the recipient can sign for them. Enter sender, recipient and items, see the preview straight away, then download a PDF or Word file. Everything stays in your browser.
How it is calculated
How the delivery note template works
Enter the sender, the delivery address and the delivered items with quantity and unit. You can add an order number and, at the end, a line “goods received complete and undamaged” with room for date and signature. Prices are deliberately left off; they belong on the quotation and the invoice. The document is created in your browser and saved as a PDF or Word file.
What it should show
- Sender, recipient or delivery address, delivery note number and date
- The customer’s order number or other reference
- Every delivered item with description, quantity and unit
- Remarks (for example partial delivery, back orders) and the confirmation of receipt
Background
It documents that goods were handed over. It usually does not show prices, so it is not an invoice and does not replace one. Typically a quotation comes first, the invoice follows, and payment can be confirmed with a receipt or chased with a payment reminder letter.
Limits
The tool produces a sample text, not legal advice and not a tax document. Check the details and terms before you use it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a delivery note?
Enter sender, recipient and the delivered items with quantity and unit, add date and number, then download it as PDF or Word.
Should it show prices?
Usually not. It documents the handover of goods; prices and tax belong on the quotation and the invoice.
What is the difference between a delivery note and an invoice?
The delivery note confirms what was delivered. The invoice asks for payment and has its own required details.
Can the recipient sign it?
Yes. Keep the box “Confirmation of receipt with signature line” ticked and print the PDF so the recipient can sign and date it.
Is my document stored anywhere?
No. There is no upload and no account. Only if you tick “Remember my entries in this browser” are your entries kept locally.
