Generating Deliveries for the Shipping of Assemblies

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to generate deliveries for the shipping of assemblies

Delivery of Material Components

You can limit the selection by specifying the following data:

  • Delivery information that describes the components in greater detail (delivery date, ship-to party, requirements date, for example)

  • Network data (the activity number, for example)

  • Material characteristics (G/L account, purchase requisition number, for example)

Delivery Information

To create a delivery, you need delivery information. Delivery information data can be used to filter for components in the "delivery from the project".

If components with different delivery information are selected in the delivery from projects, individual deliveries will be created for these components.

The higher-level object forwards the delivery information to the lower-level object. For example: If a component has no delivery information but the upper-level activity does, this information is transferred to the component. If a lower-level object has delivery information, the delivery information of the upper-level object is not taken. For example: A component and the upper-level activity have different delivery information. The internal delivery information has priority for the component.

Delivery from Project

If you deliver from projects, detail screens for each component display the various quantities related to the component, such as requirement quantities, item quantities, quantity in delivery, open quantities, and available open quantities, for example.

Once the material is selected, the delivery note is created with a reference to the network components.

You can deliver materials from stock, project stock, or sales order stock. Each position in the delivery refers directly to the reservation or purchase requisition.

After the material is selected, the delivery note is created with reference to the network component.

If a delivery note (document type LP) is created when you deliver from a project, every delivery item (item category DLP) will have a direct reference to a reservation or purchase requisition in the network. This is used for availability checks and for updating actual data for the goods issue.
