Sales & Distribution
What is Outbound Delivery?
A shipping document that triggers picking, packing, and goods issue for goods leaving a plant.
Deliveries are created from sales orders or stock transport orders and may be distributed to EWM. Posting goods issue reduces stock and posts cost of goods sold. Delivery due lists create deliveries in bulk.
