Delivery Documents<br />

or stock transport order across several delivery documents. If I only mention sales<br />

orders in the following sections, stock transport orders are meant as well.<br />

5.9.1 Delivery Combination<br />

Delivery combination and order combination refer to the process whereby several<br />

sales orders or stock transport orders are combined into one delivery document.<br />

The combination is only permitted when certain criteria between the individual<br />

sales orders correspond to each other, such as the same ship-to party, the same<br />

route, the same shipping point, and so on.<br />

This information is often located at the item level of a sales order and is transferred<br />

to the delivery header during the delivery document creation. Therefore, it is logical<br />

that sales orders that differ in this regard cannot be combined.<br />

I have entered two sales orders — same material, same customer, same ship-to party,<br />

same delivering plant — but <strong>with</strong> different shipping points. I create the delivery document<br />

for the first sales order and now deliver to the second sales order in the same delivery<br />

document. I now receive the message to check the log. I select the log and receive<br />

the respective error message (see Figure 5.86).<br />

Figure 5.86 Error Log for Delivery Document Combination<br />

The error message says that the system cannot deliver sales order “111360” and<br />

suggests a delivery split because of different shipping points. An order combination<br />

into one delivery document is not possible here.<br />

If you create your delivery documents in the background or using a batch job, you<br />

won’t receive this message. In that case, the system creates two delivery documents.<br />

Here, you must accept the fact that the system creates delivery documents<br />
