Dear Jyoti,

VL01N transaction used to create the outbound deliveries in the SAP system.

Sales Order >Delivery (VL01N) (Pick, pack,PGI)>Invoice.

VT01N transaction used to create the shipment document.If the company involved in the Transaportation process this transaction will be used.

If there is no transportation process this transaction will not be used.

Sales order >*Delivery(VL01N)>Shipment document (VT01N*)>Delivery PGI(VL02N)>Invoice

Shipment document will contain the deliveries which need to be deliver to the customer.

The shipment document will created for the deliveries before PGI.

I hope this will help you,

Regards,

VL01N is required to be created to start the outbound shipping process for any sale order.

Whether to create VT01N is required to be created or not depends on whether Transportation module is configured and being used. In scnearios where there is large amount of transportation costs involved and there is a need to track the costs at various legs of transport and integrate the serivce PO creation on the vendor from transportation documents, the transportation module is used. Otherwise it is not required.

If transportation module is not used then a delivery is created, picked and posted for goods issue before billing is completed. If transportion module is being used then shipment document and shipment cost document needs to be completed additionally in the shipping process.

VLO1N= to create outbound delivery with reference to the shipping ponit and the standard order.

VT01N = to create shipment with reference to Transport planning point and shipment type.

Shipment creation is always a part of Delivery depending upon the requirement. If the goods are sold directly to the hand of the customer then shipment creation is not necessary.

Otherwise system can create delivery automatically. or by running the job or batch ( i/e setting done by SD guys).

Shipment can be created through programme too like by running batch or any shipment job. VT01N is manual step to create Shipment.

After creating shipment you can change/update or modify the shipment for that delivery untill you create invoice.

NORMAL PROCESS of shipment and delivery:

1> Va01= create standard order

2> Va02= Schedule standard oreder ( when to deliver and from where to deliver teh order eg committed date and committed qualitity of order)

3> Verify tax process

4> Delivery Creation (Manual VL01N, By programme like batch or job through SM37)

5> Shipment Creation (Manual VT01N, By programme like batch and job through SM37) Change or update shipment through VT02N and VT03N.

6> Transfer order creation and confirmation for that Delivery

7> Packing and handling the weights.

8> Verify Shipment Cost

9> Billing document process

10> Verify Billing customer, print customer statement and do the I-DOC processing.

11> validation and verification of customer account.

Hope this will make it clear..

Thanks,
