Figure 4.2 Further Application Areas for Transportation Activities
If you have to transfer materials from one plant to another, and the plants are
physically so far from each other that transport must be planned and implemented,
you need a stock transport order and not a sales order. In the next step, you create a
“replenishment delivery” from this stock transport order. The exact procedure and
its special features and exceptions are explained in more detail in Section 4.2.1.
If you subcontract at your company to produce your product and must transport
raw materials or components to your subcontractor, to perform the transports you
require a provision of materials for subcontract order or the delivery document
resulting from it.
If you are using the SAP Project System (PS) component and work with projects,
you can also trigger deliveries from the project. Delivery note creation is usually
event controlled, which means that if conditions are met within a project (e.g.,
production of certain parts is completed), such events can trigger a delivery. In
principle, this concerns deliveries to a customer.
