Why would you create a delivery without sales order for service related items?

E.g. repairing of TV

Why would you create a delivery without sales order for this? Moreover, you can create sales order and NO delivery, as there is actually no delivery (transport of goods). And then do billing on the basis of the sales order.

@ Typewriter : So in case of your Truck example , will that be GI or GR ? as it is something which is coming back to your warehouse .

PGI.

Even if it is "coming in to the warehouse", in VL02N the user shall click on icon "Post Goods Issue". This is similar to RE process. Furthermore, the movement type shall add the packaging stock in inventory.

Rags,

Many thanks for your post! I too agree that business processes are done in many different ways & SAP SD consultant has to map these processes with an objective of effeciency and improvement.

Could you please describe the business process w.r.t sampling, from your experience? That shall help All.

Sampling.. I just want to give some goods for sampling without having to create Sales Orders and not relevant for billing.

From a point of knowledge sharing, I make the below point.

For free of charge process (e.g. sampling, promotion etc.) I would go for Standard process FD (sales doc type) --> LF (Delivery type) rather than delivery without reference.

You can check availability of stock, you can track samples given by Order reason, you can print Order confirmation and sent to customer in it you can have price indications. All these shall not be available in delivery without reference.

Thanks for sharing..I understand and agree the std solution.

However, there could be many business reasons where I would want to use delivery w/o reference to SO for sampling.

There is no standard rule of implementing a solution..

I hope that clarifies.

RS.

We sell Electronic equipments to our customers. These equipments are packed with packaging material e.g. foam, cardboard boxes, pallets.

Every 15 days, a truck returns to our delivery plant, with all the packaging material from our customer. For this delivery we don't have any sales order. We create the delivery without reference to sales order, and post GI, ensuring the stock of packaging material is in the warehouse for further use.

In configuration we have set item category as not relevant for billing.
