Most wholesale invoices end with a truck run. SmartPOS Hub keeps the delivery on the invoice itself: where it goes, who takes it, what it costs and where it is now.

## Before you start

- Delivery staff exist as users, so you can pick them as **Delivery Person**.
- Optional: **Shipping & delivery** module for courier companies and own riders with zones ([Shipping & delivery](https://docs.smartposhub.com/modules/shipping/)).

## Add delivery details to the invoice

1. On **Sell › Add Sale** (in the POS, the edit icon next to **Shipping**), open **Shipping Details**.
2. Check the shipping address (it comes from the customer).
3. Enter **Shipping Charges** if you charge for delivery.
4. Set **Shipping Status** to **Ordered** or **Packed**, and choose the **Delivery Person**.
5. Save the sale.

## Follow every delivery

**Sell › Shipments** lists every sale with shipping: date, invoice, customer, contact number, location, delivery person and shipping status. Filter by location, delivery person or status, and use **Actions** to update the status to **Shipped** and **Delivered** with **Delivered To**.

*Sell › Shipments: every delivery with its driver and status.*

**Tip:** 
Print a list per driver each morning: filter **Sell › Shipments** by **Delivery Person** and status **Packed**, then **Print**.

## Couriers and riders

For parcels to other cities, the **Shipping & delivery** module books couriers, prints labels, tracks parcels and reconciles cash on delivery. For your own riders it adds a dispatch board and end-of-day settlements. See [Shipping & delivery](https://docs.smartposhub.com/modules/shipping/) and [deliveries in the Business app](https://docs.smartposhub.com/business-app/deliveries-and-shipping/).
