Hello Nagesh:

<b>Inbound Delivery</b>

Material or materials to be delivered to a goods receiving point.

An inbound delivery consists of:

• the material(s) and

• the accompanying documents (or internal system documents)

from the vendor, production, or other sources.

The term inbound delivery is often used for the delivery documents as well as for the actual materials. Process of receiving an inbound delivery of goods at a receiving area. This process also includes the subsequent putaway and the actual increase in stock quantity. The inbound delivery process begins with staging the goods at the vendor's shipping point and ends when the goods receipt posting is made by the goods recipient (ship-to party).

In the SAP System, this operation is represented by the inbound delivery document, which is generated with reference to a:

• Purchase order

• Shipping notification

• Customer return

<b>Outbound delivery</b>

Process of picking goods, reducing the storage quantity and shipping the goods. The outbound delivery process begins with goods picking and ends when the goods are delivered to the recipient.

In the SAP System, this operation is represented by the outbound delivery document, which is generated during the following activites:

• Goods shipment based on a sales order

• Stock transfer order

• Goods return (to the vendor)
