Hi Mahesh,

Any difference in the Header data of the two different sales documents trying to combine in one delivery is not possible. Routines need to be written with the help of ABAPer in the copy controls from sales document to delivery document if the delivery needs to be combined even though if certain header data is different.

Hi Mahesh,

Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split

Use

Deliveries created in the system usually have a planning nature, at least initially. In other words, deliveries are the basis for warehouse or transportation planning activities. During delivery processing, it may become necessary to divide up a delivery because of workload planning for picking or the loading capacity limitations of a means of transport, for example.

Until now, this was accomplished by making manual changes to the delivery and then, in a separate step, combining the remaining item quantities to create a new delivery.

The subsequent outbound-delivery split function simplifies this process by accomplishing the same thing in one step. An existing delivery can be split anytime you discover that the delivery contains too many items or is too large to be processed in subsequent functions (picking, goods issue, transportation planning).

Prerequisites

In order to use the subsequent delivery function, you must first make the necessary settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Logistics Execution ® Shipping ® Deliveries in the Subsequent delivery split activity.

For example, a delivery split is only allowed if the delivery has a certain status. The delivery split cannot take place if the shipment is completed, or if any goods movements, billing documents or picking quantities yet to be confirmed (at least for the item's split quantity) exist.

Range of Functions

You can use the subsequent outbound-delivery split to divide existing deliveries into several other deliveries. This function is especially useful, for example, if a smaller means of transport than you expected is all that is available at loading time.

You can split handling units, delivery items that have not been packed yet, or even partial quantities of delivery items that have not been packed yet. There is always an option of running a simulation of the split beforehand.

During the subsequent outbound-delivery split, the system checks the status (no goods movements or billing documents, for example), confirms characteristics (delivery groups and correlation), copies data (texts), calculates attributes (volume and weight) and carries out determinations (outputs).

The split result controls which delivery items are grouped together in the same delivery. All remaining items make up the split remainder.

Hope this provides you clarity. Reward points if it helps.

Hi Srikanth,

I have gone through this material in help but could not make much of out it.What I am expecting is in simpler terms - how and when during transaction a delivery split is affected, ie exactly at what point in transaction and how ?

Delivery will be split under certain criteria,

different ship-to parties,

different delivery dates,

diff. Incoterms

then delivery will split.

ignore it,
