Satish :

The basic flow in general SAP SD is Qt --> Order -> Delivery

->Billing - > Accounting.

Delivery is created because of Schedule lines and item category. Due to different item category assignment, if the item is deliverable then sales order needs to be delivered.

As soon as you create sales order you can deliver the sales order by creating transfer orders.

After transfer order next step is picking. If it is single order you can do picking, to do this you need ware house no and selection date. If there are more than one sales orders you can do collective picking means you are combining sales orders.( This is basically called picking list)

After picking if the product requires packing then you can select packing material type and do packing.

once picking and packing is done you can do post goods issue which will reduce sales stock.

Next step is creating billing document and the one after is posting it to accounting.

To track or manage this sales order you do shipping notification.

If you have any more question feel free to contact.

Hi Satish,

In simple words:

Delivery is created with transaction VL01N. When the customer order is complete and the material and delivery date is confirmed, we can create the delivery on the confirmed date.

Once you create the delivery, you need to pick the material from the stores. If needed we can pack the material too. Once everything is over, the material will be handed over to the trnaporter or carrier. This is called Post Goods Issue.

When you do the PGI, many records will get update. If the PGI is succesfully done, the delivery procedd is over.

Hello,

Shipping notification is an output in the delivery. We need to maintian the condition record for shipping notification in transaction code VV21. Once the requirements are met, the the output will trigger through the medium you defined.

Hi satish

Once you save the sales order we do delivery .In delivery we enter the picking qty of the material and then if packing is there we do packing for the material , then we issue the delivery note to the customer then we do Post goods Issue (PGI).
