It is a general business practice. In case of emergency or in some other issues, you sale goods temporarily to the customer. The Bill/Invoice is prepared on a future date but you send a challan with the goods as a proof of goods sent. Such types of transactions are called Sales Challan. It creates a delivery note. The entry in Sale Challan is very much similar with sale entry.

Sales Challan is an agreement to sell the goods in which property/ownership of the goods is not passed to the buyer till an Invoice is prepared. The customer has only the possession of the goods but he is not the owner of the goods. Before closing the year, you will be required to prepare bills from challans. You can’t have any challans for which bill is not made.
