When selling materials to an external customer, a sales order is created. A production or process order is the source document if materials are required to be able to execute a production process. For internal usage of materials, an outbound delivery might be the only document needed.

An outbound delivery without reference to a sales or production/process order can be created manually in Inventory Management, but it can also be created directly in SAP EWM. This is easier in many cases.
