      Above the "Save Delivery" button, you have an "Update Stock" checkbox. Unchecking this box will ensure that the order you are about to accept will not add the delivered goods to your inventory. 

      eg. You have forgotten to register a delivery and you have done a stock count. In this case, the delivery is already added to your stock, because you have counted it. If you would add the delivery to your stock by saving the delivery, it would be added to your stock again. In this case, you uncheck the checkbox.

      Please be cautious with this feature, the software will remember your previous choice. If you unchecked it once to correct a mistake, make sure to check the box again for the next order. If you already did a stock count you can uncheck update stock option.
