hi David

delivery note is the document issued by the vendor or by production containing information on the delivered goods., it accompanies the goods for information purposes.

A bill of lading is a document issued by a carrier, e.g. a ship's master or by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified

Dear David,

The meaning of both the fields has already been explained to you.

The usage is in MIRO. When you want to pass Only the GR line item entry you can select the delivery note option to be able to select the predefined GR other wise if you enter the PO number and in case it has long PO history then all line item will get defaulted and you will have to spend a considerable long time to search for your GR no. The column of GR Number again is not visible in first screen and you would need to a considerable amount of scrolling before you are able to see that column and select the right one.

Hence by selecting Delivery note option, system can easily default the requisite GR.

In case you need to pass only the freight element, you can use the Option of Bill of Lading option where in system will default only the Liability which was captured on account of above Material document having Bill of Lading reference.

Trust it satisfies your query.

Hi David,

Apart from Mangesh comments, you can do Invoice Verification based on delivery note or bill of lading.

Hope this information will be useful.
