Delivery processing in SAP involves the grouping of deliveries to pick, pack, and ship, and performing all the functions associated with the delivery process. In this unit, we will cover some key components of delivery processing and some configuration required to support the process.

Outbound Delivery Document Structure

An outbound delivery can be in reference to a sales order, a stock transport order, a subcontract order, or without any reference.

Delivery Types

SAP uses different delivery types to define delivery document types for various business transactions such as outbound deliveries, inbound deliveries, replenishment deliveries, and deliveries for a stock transfer order. The delivery types are maintained in configuration and they define the following:

The number range for the delivery

The allowed and required partner functions

Whether a preceeding document is required

What events must occur before a delivery can be created

Storage location determination

What output types are allowed
