In Irsaal Water Delivery Software, an order is a delivery that is still to happen, and a delivery is one that has happened. Orders are booked on Operations → Orders → New Order, or for a coming day with Book for a Later Day, and they reach the rider's app straight away. A delivery is recorded by the rider in the app, or in the office on Refill / Delivery. Recording it moves the bottles, writes the invoice and puts any unpaid amount on the customer's balance. Deliveries lists everything delivered, day by day.
How do I book an order?
- Open Orders and press New Order.
- Under Customer, choose the Customer, the Order Date and the rider in Assign Rider (who delivers this). — Customer's own rider — is the default. The panel shows the customer's Bottles Held, what their Deposit Covers, their Security Wallet and any Previous Due.
- Under What is the customer ordering?, choose one of these:
- 19 Ltr Bottles. Enter How many 19 Ltr bottles?. Security Payment (auto, editable) and Refill Payment (auto, editable) fill in from the customer's price.

How do I book a delivery for a later day?
On Refill / Delivery, press Book for a Later Day:
- Choose the Delivery day: Today, Tomorrow, In 2 days or a date.
- Choose the Customer.

How do I record a refill or delivery in the office?

- Against pending order: pick the customer's open order, or — None (walk-in refill) —.
- Choose the Customer, and the rider under Delivered By (Rider). For a counter sale, choose — Recorded at the counter (no rider) —. Cash and empties a rider collects stay on that rider's name until you approve their daily ledger, while a counter sale's money and stock land at once.
- Under Bottle Movement, enter:
- 19 Ltr Delivered (refilled given)
- Empty Collected (taken back). It matches the delivered number by itself, so change it if the customer keeps some.
- Damaged Returned. The damage penalty is taken from the customer's security wallet.

- Under Bill, choose the Payment Method (Cash, Online / Card or Credit (add to ledger)) and the Amount Collected. What is not collected goes on the customer's ledger.
- Press Record Refill / Delivery.

Orders shows one day at a time: the date is in the heading, and you can change it with the Date filter. Each row shows the Order #, Customer, Route / Rider, Items, Total, Due, who created and delivered it, and its Status: pending, delivered, skipped or cancelled. Filter by Status, Route or Created by role. Generate books that day's orders from customers' subscriptions (see Subscriptions and payment plans in Irsaal water delivery software).

Can I change an order after saving it?

Frequently asked questions
How do I create an order in Irsaal water delivery software?
Open Orders → New Order. Choose the customer and rider, enter the number of 19 Ltr bottles or add products, set the payment, and press Save Order & Preview Invoice. The rider is notified at once.
What is the difference between New Order and Refill / Delivery?
New Order books something still to be delivered. Refill / Delivery records a delivery that has already happened. It moves the bottles and bills at once.
How does the rider know about a new order?
The rider's app shows it on Route (for today) or Schedule (for later days), and the rider gets a notification when the order is saved.
A customer only pays part. What happens to the rest?
The unpaid part goes on the customer's Account Ledger. It shows as their balance and is collected later with Add Payment, or by the rider with Collect Payment.
What is a delivery-only order?
An order the office has fully prepared and billed. The rider only hands it over and taps Mark Delivered. The bottles still move, and it still lands on the rider's daily ledger.
Khulasa (Roman Urdu)
Order woh delivery hai jo abhi honi hai, aur delivery woh jo ho chuki. "Orders → New Order" mein customer, rider, bottles ki tadaad aur payment likh kar "Save Order & Preview Invoice" dabayen; rider ko foran notification chali jati hai. Aane wale din ke liye "Refill / Delivery" par "Book for a Later Day" istemal karein. Jo delivery ho chuki ho (counter ya bina app), use "Refill / Delivery" mein darj karke "Record Refill / Delivery" dabayen. Jo raqam na mile, woh customer ke khate mein chali jati hai.
