Delivery Order (DO)
The Delivery Order (DO) transaction serves as an instruction letter for the delivery of goods that have been ordered by the customer in accordance with the mutual agreement between the seller and the buyer. The DO transaction is usually preceded by the issuance of a PO by the buyer and recorded as a Sales Order by the seller.
In addition to detailed information about the goods to be delivered, the DO also contains other important information such as the shipping agent, shipping address, vehicle information, and the names of the officers involved in the delivery. Add other important information if necessary.
In the system, the DO transaction will reduce the stock quantity in the warehouse and record a journal of merchandise inventory or purchase on temporary debt.
The Delivery Order has several important functions in an ERP application, including:
- Optimizing delivery and inventory. The Delivery Order helps companies optimize delivery and inventory by providing accurate information about stock and timely delivery schedules. With this information, companies can manage inventory more effectively and ensure that the required goods are always available.
- Improving delivery accuracy. The Delivery Order can help improve delivery accuracy by providing complete information about orders and deliveries, including information about the type of product or service, the quantity to be shipped, and the shipping address. With this information, companies can minimize human errors that may occur during the delivery process.
- Reducing shipping costs. The Delivery Order can help companies reduce shipping costs by optimizing shipping routes and ensuring that the goods shipped match the order and delivery schedule. As a result, companies can reduce shipping costs and increase delivery efficiency.
- Enhancing customer satisfaction. The Delivery Order can help improve customer satisfaction by providing accurate information about shipping and scheduling. With this information, customers can arrange their goods receipt schedule and ensure that the goods they receive match the order and desired specifications.
- Increasing operational efficiency. The Delivery Order can help improve operational efficiency by automating the shipping process and speeding up delivery times. By automating the shipping process, companies can minimize human errors and increase productivity.
