In any business, if we want that a good relationship should be established between the vendor and the shopkeeper, then it becomes necessary that there should be transparency in both.
It means that no such situation should arise due to which there is a dispute between the vendor and the shopkeeper regarding any order and its transactions.
For this, it is necessary that there is some proof of transaction between the two to prove that the order has been properly delivered. It helps businesses with managing inventory also.
This document is called the Purchase Challan, which is created by the buyer (Shopkeeper) to the vendor of each stock order.
Purchase Challan is a formal document that is created to avoid the following situations-
- Mismatch in stock purchase and sales
- Mismatch in the product received and payment
- Confusion /dispute between vendor/supplier and business owner
- Insufficient level of inventory
- Slow inventory updating

Let's understand in real-time when Purchase Challan is needed or apply
As a shopkeeper, you buy items from different vendors/suppliers to maintain your inventory on a daily basis. For this, you place an order with them, and when you receive that order, you give a document proof to your vendor.
The issued document mainly mentions the items' list, cost, and quantity, which tells what you have purchased from the vendors/suppliers.
