Quick answer

The Delivery Challan module in Easedesk ERP lets you dispatch goods. It is built India-first with auto from sales order, vehicle + driver fields, and returnable variant — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs. Data flows automatically to and from other Easedesk modules, GST returns are auto-populated, and access is governed by role-based permissions.

What is the Delivery Challan module?

Easedesk's Delivery Challan module handles non-sale dispatch documents required under GST — job-work moves, sales-on-approval, sale-or-return, exhibition stock movements, and returnable challans.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults. Whether you're a 10-person startup or a 500-person enterprise, the Delivery Challan module scales without changing how you log in or where your data lives.

Unlike standalone delivery challan tools, Easedesk's Delivery Challan module is part of a connected ERP — data flows automatically between modules (your invoice posts to accounting, your payroll updates statutory liabilities) so you never re-key the same number twice.

Why Delivery Challan matters for Indian businesses

Mandatory under GST for non-sale moves > ₹50k. Returnable challan must come back within 180 days for job-work (1 year for capital goods) under Section 143 — beyond that, ITC reversal applies.

For Indian B2B and B2C sales, the regulatory landscape changes every few months — GST rate revisions, new TDS sections, fresh EPFO circulars. Easedesk's product team monitors gazette notifications and pushes updates so your Delivery Challan module always reflects the current law without you having to lift a finger.

Key features and capabilities

The Delivery Challan module in Easedesk ships with the following capabilities out of the box:

  • Auto from sales order
  • Vehicle + driver fields
  • Returnable variant
  • E-way bill chain

Who should use the Delivery Challan module?

Teams that dispatch goods regularly will get the most value out of this module. Typical users include sales representatives, account managers, sales operations leads, and revenue heads.

For Indian SMEs, this module is most actively used by promoter-directors and finance-controllers in companies up to ₹50 crore turnover, and by dedicated functional teams in larger organisations.

Why teams choose Easedesk for Delivery Challan

Compared to standalone tools, point solutions and legacy desktop software, Easedesk's Delivery Challan module gives you:

  • Statutory transit doc
  • Auto-fill from SO
  • Eway-ready

Permissions and access control

Access to the Delivery Challan module is governed by Easedesk's role-based access control (RBAC). By default, the Owner role has full access (wildcard permissions). The predefined roles that include Delivery Challan access are typically Admin, Sales Manager, and the Viewer role (which gets read-only access).

Owners can edit any predefined role's permissions, or create new custom roles, in Settings → Users & Roles. Permissions are checked at the API level on every request — so even if a user finds a hidden URL, they cannot bypass the role gates.

For sensitive operations like delete, approve and export, you can require an extra-step approval workflow — see the Approvals module documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Delivery Challan module do in Easedesk?
Easedesk's Delivery Challan module handles non-sale dispatch documents required under GST — job-work moves, sales-on-approval, sale-or-return, exhibition stock movements, and returnable challans. It is built specifically for Indian SMEs and works with the rest of Easedesk's 50+ module ERP platform.
Is the Delivery Challan module included in my Easedesk plan?
Delivery Challan is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for the exact list of modules covered by your current plan.
Who can access the Delivery Challan module?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; functional roles (Sales Manager, etc.) get scoped access, and Viewer gets read-only. Customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Delivery Challan be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their underlying data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does data in the Delivery Challan module come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV from a spreadsheet, ingested through the Easedesk REST API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted to Sales).
Is the Delivery Challan module GST-compliant?
Yes — the Delivery Challan module is built with Indian GST law fully baked in. It handles CGST/SGST/IGST split based on place of supply, HSN/SAC codes, ITC eligibility, and statutory reporting formats.
Does the Delivery Challan module work on mobile?
Yes — Easedesk is fully responsive. The Delivery Challan module renders well on phones and tablets, and the most-used actions (creating challans, approving, viewing reports) are optimised for one-handed use.
Can I export Delivery Challan data?
Yes. Every list view supports export to Excel, CSV and PDF. Reports can be scheduled to email automatically (daily / weekly / monthly). Bulk exports up to 50,000 rows are supported synchronously; larger ones run as background jobs.
How does the Delivery Challan module handle multi-branch businesses?
Easedesk supports multiple departments, branches, cost centres and warehouses out of the box. Records in the Delivery Challan module can be tagged to the right entity, and Department Scoping in RBAC restricts user access to their assigned branches.
Is data in the Delivery Challan module backed up?
Yes. Easedesk runs continuous backups with point-in-time recovery for the last 30 days, plus daily snapshots retained for 90 days. Your data is stored in India (Mumbai region) and meets DPDP Act 2023 requirements.
