hai abhi

In sd for every process, a document will be generated so that u can use the document for further processing

If you save a sales order it will generate a doc no either internal or external as per the requirement. you use this number for delivery in vl01

similarly after pgi a delivery doc is generated which will be useful in billing

It is delivery document which is generated after goods issue

Hi,

A normal sales cycle is <b>Inquiry</b> - <b>Quotation</b> - <b>Sales Order</b> - <b>Delivery</b> - <b>Billing</b>.

After the <b>sales order</b> is created the <b>production</b> is done and when the goods come into finished goods store, they are ready for <b>delivery</b> for which a <b>"delivery document"</b> has to be created. If the delivery is not done then the sales order will always remain open. when a sales order is <b>delivered</b> and invoice created the sales order gets closed.

<b>Delivery document:</b>

It is created for a sales order and for doing the delivery a <b>shipping point</b> is required from where the goods will be actually shipped to the customer. This <b>delivery document</b> contains information for <b>"packing"</b>, <b>"picking"</b>. If packing is there then the material is first packed and then it is picked for doing the delivery. The goods have to be picked completely and then when the <b>"PGI"</b> is done the <b>stocks</b> are <b>updated</b> and accordingly the <b>G/L accounts</b> also. When we save the delivery and do the <b>PGI</b> then the along with the <b>delivery document</b> a <b>"picking request"</b> and a <b>"goods issue document"</b> are also generated which are very important as they contain the accounting information also.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi,

As the terms suggests, the delivery documents contains all the relevent data needed for sending the goods to the customer. If the goods you are seeling to the customer is a stock item (inventory relevent), it has to be physically delivered to the customer. We must have a record for handing over the material to the customer.

It contains the ship-to-party nymber, shipping point, item, quantity... etc..

Delivery Document is a document used in Logistics execution, and contains all the details regarding Picking, Packing, Shipping and Goods Issue.

Normally a delivery document is created from ( with reference to) a Sales Document (Sales Order). The delivery document is then used as a reference for the creation of Invoice (Bill), after goods issue has been posted.

The Sales Order cycle is :

<b>Sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoice</b>
