Items plus the despatch setup
The item list — tools, sanitaryware, hardware — should carry exact brands and sizes because much of it is despatched to buyers who order by catalogue. Set freight as its own line and record vehicle details from the first load. On the party side, the buyer's state matters on almost every order, since most despatches leave Punjab.
Hand tools, sanitaryware and despatch
Jalandhar's trade covers hand tools, sanitaryware and sports goods for a customer base spread across the country, and much of what leaves the city is despatched rather than sold across a counter. That means packing lists, transport references and freight billed separately are part of an ordinary order.
Freight on its own line
When goods travel a long way, transport is a real share of what the customer pays and it varies with the destination. Folding it into the material rate makes your quote look expensive against a supplier who breaks it out and hides where your margin actually is. On its own line, both sides can see the split and you get a monthly figure for what delivery costs against what you charged.
Inter-state sales as routine
Most despatches leave Punjab, so IGST rather than CGST and SGST is the normal case. Setting the buyer's state on the party switches the treatment automatically with the right state code, and the vehicle and freight details needed for the e-way bill sit on the same record as the invoice — so nothing has to be reconstructed at the gate.
