Delivery Documents
EE
You enter the parameters for selecting all due customers orders or stock transport
orders to a batch job and have the delivery documents created by this job
in the background.
I will start with the manual creation of a delivery document, because this activity
is required again and again and should be mastered despite all of the automatic
processes that are available.
5.3.1 Creating an Individual Delivery Document
To create an individual delivery document, you must start Transaction VL01N. In
the screen that displays, you need to specify some parameters (see Figure 5.14):

Shipping point
You must specify the shipping point from which the goods are supposed to
be delivered to the ship-to party. The shipping point, which has already been
determined in the sales order (see Section 5.5), must correspond to the one
you enter here. In this example, the goods are transported from shipping point
“OGM1.”
Selection date
Here, you must enter the calculated date on which you can start processing the
delivery at the earliest. This date is usually calculated by the SAP system during
order entry (required delivery date when the goods should arrive at the customer
minus the transportation time, material staging time, picking time, and
processing time). See Section 6.1 for more on this topic. By default, the system
suggests the current date.
