# Creating a delivery

> Keep track of which products you expect from a supplier and when they will arrive.

Deliveries let you keep track of which products you expect from a [supplier](/en/support/managing-suppliers) and when they will arrive. As soon as the delivery arrives, you can receive the products and your stock is updated automatically. Want ShopLinkr to work out what and how much you need to reorder? Take a look at the [purchase advice](/en/support/purchase-advice) first, which turns your advice into deliveries in a single click.

### Creating a delivery

1. Go to **Deliveries** and click **Add delivery**.

2. Select the **supplier**.

3. Enter a **reference** (for example, the purchase order number).

4. If you like, fill in the **expected delivery date**, the **number of boxes**, the **number of pallets** and a **track & trace code**.

5. Optionally add a **description** or **attachments** (such as a packing slip or invoice).

6. Add the **products** you expect to receive. For each product, enter the expected quantity.

7. Click **Save**.

The delivery is created with the status **Draft**. After creating it, you can still add products through **Add delivery item**.

### Statuses

A delivery goes through the following statuses:

| Status          | Meaning                                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**       | Created, can still be edited                          |
| **Purchased**   | Ordered from the supplier, ready to be received       |
| **In progress** | You have started receiving products                   |
| **Processed**   | All products have been received, delivery is complete |

See [Receiving and processing a delivery](/en/support/receiving-and-processing-a-delivery) for how to receive products and update your stock.
