You track which orders were delivered without changing Tally by ticking Mark delivered or Mark all delivered on the Load sheet, with Undo if the wrong shop was ticked. Delivered is a Takkada-only fact, kept so Tally stays clean. The Sales Order remains open until the office converts it to an invoice the way they already do. Order delivery tracking distributor teams keep that tick off the voucher register. The van reaches Gupta Stores at 2:40. The delivery boy opens the Station Road Load sheet and ticks the lines that went in. Tally is not told an order was delivered. On a Guwahati book with five salesmen and about 120 dealers, the same tick runs on GS Road, Fancy Bazaar, NH-37 and Beltola. This article walks why the tick stays on the phone, who ticks it, and what the office still does in Tally the next morning.

How do I track which orders were delivered without changing Tally?
You tick the lines on the Load sheet. Mark delivered for Gupta Stores' cartons that went in. Mark all delivered if the full drop went in. Undo if the boy ticked the next shutter by mistake. That is the whole of the tracking. Tally does not receive a delivery status. The Sales Order that Raju booked in the morning is still a Sales Order at 2:41.
The Salesman app for Tally is where that order was written. Salesman order taking without re-entry is how it landed against Gupta Stores in the books. Order delivery tracking for a distributor is a second, thinner record on the phone, so the godown knows the Tempo is empty without asking Tally to remember a fact it has no voucher for.
Beat-wise sales management already separated the list, the load, the visit, and the order. The delivered tick is the afternoon of that same Tuesday. Station Road's sheet, Gupta Stores on top, a thumb on Mark delivered.
Why delivered stays out of Tally
Tally already has a place for goods leaving. It is the sales invoice, sometimes a delivery challan, written the way this office has always written it. A delivered flag on a Sales Order would be a second truth sitting next to an open voucher. The next morning the accountant would not know which one to trust.
So the tick stays on Takkada. Tally stays clean. The Sales Order remains open. When the office is ready, they convert it to an invoice against Gupta Stores, with the godown stamped the way they already stamp it. Godown on invoices and challans is that later step. The 2:40 tick is not that step.
Owners who want Tally to show "delivered" are asking the books to hold a warehouse event the voucher types do not carry. This product declines that. The Load sheet holds the event. Tally holds the Sales Order until someone invoices it. Two records, two jobs. The books do not get a ghost status that an auditor cannot find a voucher for.
Mark delivered, Mark all delivered, Undo
The delivery boy opens the Station Road Load sheet. Gupta Stores' lines are the cartons at his feet. He ticks Mark delivered on those lines. If every line for Gupta Stores went in, Mark all delivered does the same job in one tap. If he ticked Fancy Bazaar's shop by mistake while standing on Station Road, Undo puts the tick back.
That is the control set. There is no second screen for delivery. There is no Tally write on that tap. The Load sheet is the dispatch load sheet the godown loaded from this morning: pending orders from a 3-day window, per beat, per dealer. The tick says those lines left the Tempo at this shutter.
Five beats, about 120 dealers. The same two buttons on GS Road, Fancy Bazaar, NH-37 and Beltola. Manoj's beat has its own sheet. The boy on that Tempo ticks that sheet. Undo is there because thumbs miss, and a missed thumb should not become a Tally voucher.
Order delivery tracking a distributor keeps on the Load sheet
Order delivery tracking for a distributor, on this book, is the Load sheet filling with ticks as the van empties. Gupta Stores at 2:40. The next Station Road shutter at 2:55. By 4:10 Station Road's pending pile for the 3-day window is either ticked or still sitting, and the owner can see which without opening Tally.
The salesman still has Today's load. Raju sees Station Road's pending orders from the 3-day window including today. The godown still has Dispatch, what goes out today, then the Load sheet. The tick lives on that sheet. Raju does not have to be at Gupta Stores for the boy to tick it. The visit and the drop are different jobs. A salesman-wise sales report still reads the Sales Order in Tally. It does not read the tick. The field order collection app wrote that Sales Order at the counter. The afternoon tick does not write a second voucher beside it.
Older pending stays behind the chip until someone deals with it. Ticking Mark delivered on a line that is in the window takes it off the live drop list for that sheet. The Tally Sales Order is still there. The office still has to invoice it.
What the office still does in Tally the next morning
Wednesday, 10:00. The accountant opens the Sales Order register the way she always has. Gupta Stores' order from Tuesday is open. She converts it to a sales invoice, items, GST, the number series this company already uses. That is when Tally holds the bill. The 2:40 stop at the shutter stays on the Load sheet.
The tick on the Load sheet told the godown the van came back light. The invoice tells the books the party owes money. Mixing those two on Tuesday afternoon would have written a warehouse event into a register that this office invoices on its own clock, sometimes the next morning, sometimes after a shortage call.
Tally stays the neighbour. The Sales Order was written from the phone when Raju booked it. The invoice is written when the office is ready. The delivered tick never joins that chain. What a beat is in distribution sales named the shop. The Load sheet named the cartons. Tally named the voucher. Each keeps its own fact.
Who ticks the sheet
The delivery boy, standing at Gupta Stores with the Tempo open, ticks the Station Road Load sheet. That is the usual thumb. Ticks stay on the Load sheet. The salesman can see Today's load, which is his pending pile, and is a different door. The useful split from the dispatch load sheet still holds: Raju walks the beat, the gate holds the totals, the boy at the shutter ticks the drop.
If Raju is also the one handing cartons in, he can tick. The product does not wait for a role named delivery boy. It waits for someone with the Load sheet open and the cartons at the door. Undo is the recovery when that someone ticked the wrong dealer.
Five salesmen, about 120 dealers, five sheets. Gupta Stores at 2:40. Mark delivered. Tally is not told. The Sales Order waits for the invoice.
