Hiya.

Outbound deliveries are merged together in a shipment and shipped. you might also would create certain variants for having PGI and invoicing directly after the shipment is complete.

Shippent costs may also be configured.

I will put forward my question in a different manner:

What is the difference between an outbound delivery document and a shipment document?

[Former Member]

Outbound delivery is a part of Shipping. Shipping has the following functions:

• Deadline monitoring for reference documents due for shipment (sales orders and purchase orders etc.)

• Creating and processing outbound deliveries

• Planning and monitoring of worklists for shipping activities

• Monitoring material availability and processing outstanding orders

• Monitoring the warehouse's capacity situation

• Picking

• Packing deliveries

• Information support for transportation planning

• Support of foreign trade requirements

• Printing and transmitting shipping documents

• Processing goods issue

• Controlling using overviews of deliveries currently in process

• Activities that still are to be carried out

• Possible bottlenecks
