How to create an Outbound Delivery in SAP

SAP SD - Outbound Delivery

With the availability of material or transport scheduling date, outbound delivery is required for due shipping lines. It involves shipping activities like picking of goods, transportation scheduling, etc. An outbound delivery is done with the shipping points and is determined at the time of placing the order. You can also define a shipping point manually at a later stage.

Following are some checklist points to be carried out when a delivery is created −

• To check the material and order to ensure if the outbound delivery of goods is possible.
• Defining the quantity of goods and its availability.
• Packing the outbound delivery.
• Calculating weight or volume of delivery.
• Find out the delivery situation and the delivery agreement.
• Defining the route.
• Finding the pickup location.
• Quality check of material to be delivered.
• Updating and changing the status of the sales order.

If there is a change in a delivery situation, you can change the delivery after it is created.
