There are many delivery note templates out there, the format of the delivery note is more or less similar across the different templates. An unambiguous delivery note carries following information:

Issuing Company Name:

Issuing Company Address:

Just after the name of the business the note should carry the address and contact details of the company issuing the delivery note.

Invoice details:

It is good to have the details of the invoice against which the delivery note is being issued. This section must include the invoice number.

Client details:

This section must include the name of the buyer and the billing address.

Delivery address:

Please note, the delivery address could be same as client address or in some cases it may be different if the client has requested for delivery of goods to some other location like the warehouse. The delivery note should clearly highlight the client address and delivery address even when both are same.

Description and quantities:

This is the most important section. It includes the details of goods that are being delivered along with the quantity for each item.

This is an additional text area where the seller can provide any special comments or provide instructions related to the goods that are being delivered.
