Dear Raj,

For the sales order, create a delivery document using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment document using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.

A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.

After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.

Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...

You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.

In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue.
