• Consignee details and shipping address (may differ from billing).
• Unique challan number and date, with reference to the PO or invoice.
• Line-level items with quantity, HSN and UOM.
• Transport mode, vehicle number, LR/AWB number.
• A signature block for the receiver.

When to raise a challan vs. an invoice

Use a challan for stock movements where the ownership or billing event hasn't happened yet: job-work, approvals, sample dispatch, inter-branch transfer. Use an invoice when the sale is final.
