What are the purposes of invoices and delivery notes?

1. Invoice is a ticket for an enterprise or company to send its own or others' products to a designated person or company and use it as a ticket for picking up goods, going out, transporting and inspecting, and it is an important basis for an enterprise or company to reflect its sales.

Second, the bill of lading is actually a voucher for buying and selling goods between buyers and sellers (customers). The bill of lading is an important proof that the consignee has signed for the goods, and it is also the key evidence that can determine the success or failure of the lawsuit in the case of contract arrears.

Three, the invoice shall include the following contents:

Product name, model, specification (standard), unit, unit price, quantity, amount, production unit and remarks (other information that needs to be explained, such as quantity per package).

4. Delivery note generally consists of the following fields: customer name, delivery note number, delivery date, product name, specification, unit, quantity, unit price, amount, consignor and consignee. Delivery notes can also be divided into single, two, three or more copies.

Extended data

The consignee signed on the delivery note must be accurate.

As the consignee, the enterprise shall require the other party to affix the official seal of the enterprise on the delivery note. The consignee shall stipulate in the contract between the two parties (the name shall be stated in the contract, and the power of attorney of the receiving enterprise and my signature pattern shall be provided). The mistake that is easy to make in practice is that the receiving company often does not stamp the official seal on the receipt, but only designates the employees in the warehouse to sign the delivery note.

This situation is common, but it is risky: if Party B denies that it has received the goods and the person who signed the delivery note is his own employee, the labor contract between the consignee and the employee has not been verified by the labor department or they have not signed the labor contract.

Then the shipper will not be able to prove that the person who signed the delivery note is the employee of the consignee. Without other indirect evidence, he will bear the responsibility of failing to prove it, resulting in losing the case.
