Create Outbound Delivery

To create the Outbound delivery follow the path below:

Logistics > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Order > Subsequent functions > Outbound Delivery

Enter the Sales Order from which the Outbound Delivery has to be generated, enter "LP00" for "International loading point" as Shipping Point. Depending on whether the goods are shipped all together or in partial shipments, select the lines of interest by by entering the line number in the fields 'From item' & 'To item'. This can be useful in case of partial shipments. If no line selection is entered, the system picks up automatically all the material lines in the SO. Click on enter :

The system derives all the material lines in the SO or the line items selected from it by copying these into the Outbound Delivery. Information on ship-to-party and means of transport are also derived into the SO automatically but can be changed on a later stage, if required.

In case of partial shipments from same SO (e.g. multiple dispatches of wide cargo or due to partial availability of items) editing of different cargoes can be performed at the stage the Outbound Deliveries are created. Go to "Create Outbound Delivery" thru transaction VL01N to create first delivery from SO.

In case the same material has to be send out in more shipments, when creating the Outbound Delivery decrease the quantity of items to match with composition of first cargo to be shipped:

Remove the line items in case some materials are not be be included in the first shipment; select the line items that have not to be included in the first shipment and click on the Delete Item icon :

The system automatically decreases or removes the required quantities for the current Outbound Delivery returning their balances into the SO for the forthcoming Outbound Delivery.

To build the following Outbound Delivery, go to "Create Outbound Delivery" thru transaction VL01N to create the second delivery from same SO and eventually repeat the above steps for the third delivery if any.

NOTE: In case the Partner asks for extra materials once the fist lot has left the warehouse, thereof the Good Issue has been posted against the Outbound Delivery, go to "Change Outbound Delivery" thru transaction VL02N, click on Outbound Delivery on the top menu, select Deliver Sales Order and pick the new material codes added on the SO on a later stage.

Fill in the Actual Goods Issue date in the Overview screen:

Go back , save the Outbound Delivery:

To complete the Outbound Delivery all the mandatory fields have to be entered; go to "Change Outbound Delivery" thru transaction VL02N, and enter the Outbound Delivery number:

To edit all mandatory fields select:

Shipping type codes available in WINGS	Shipping type Descriptions available in WINGS	Explanation
M1	Air	Air commercial -small cargo- shipments
M2	Charter	Air charter - full chartered aircraft- shipments

1) CMR and Seal in case of road transport

2) B/L, Container n. and Seal in case of sea transport

NOTE: In some conditions it is required to empty the Outbound Delivery and keep the number generated by the system for future use - e.g. in case of nested issues within the Outbound Delivery -. In that cases follow above instructions and re-start the standard creation of the Outbound Delivery from the Sales Order making sure to paste the first Outbound Delivery number in the Outbound Deliv. field rather than allowing the system to generate a new number:

By saving the OD the system adopts the first OD n. generated against the SO.

Creation of outbound delivery for direct delivery process

When the sale to a partner regards all or some items that are meant to be delivered to final destination directly from suppliers’ location, the Direct Delivery procedure has to be applied.

It should be considered that even if it is no strictly required to issue Shipping documents such as UNHRD ‘Proforma Invoice/Packing List’ (e.g. in case of DAP as Incoterms), it is needed to generate the Outbound delivery in order to include such shipments in the operational reporting as any other consignment departing from UNHRD warehouses.

When creating a SO thru transaction VA01 – Sales Order Creation (ZHNO or ZHWO) or changing a SO thru transaction VA02 –Sales Order Change, add the material lines after the Service lines in order to generate the forthcoming Outbound Delivery. Follow the instructions on Order in case of Direct Delivery to complete this action.

Once the SO is adapted to list material codes to be managed with Direct Delivery, go to VL01N Outbound Delivery Creation with ref. of the SO without forcing any other delivery type (e.g. ZS) because the item category ZDLS is automatically transferred from the SO to the Outbound Delivery.

If the material is batch managed, enter a batch number at line level:

Search for a batch number by clicking on the drop-down menu. Enter the Valuation Type that applies to the type of material (e.g. WFP NFI, NOWFP NFI, etc.):

Click on any batch number valid for the material processed as this kind of delivery does not take effect on batches in the warehouse; click on to select the batch:

NOTE: select the most recent batch in case of perishable items so that it won't expires in less than 365 days from its selection:

Enter Storage Location '0002' in the Picking tab:

In case the material required to be shipped from supplier's location does not exist in make sure to change the item description (this should be done already at the SO level) and, more important, change the weights and volume in the Outbound Delivery in order to adapt it to the real cargo composition. In that case, the weights and volumes can be changed in the Picking tab at line level of the Outbound Delivery:

No storage location and picking process is required because the item category is ZDLS and it does not affect the warehouse activities.

NOTE: the Condition Type of the items shipped thru Direct Delivery process entered at SO level is derived by the Final Packing List to reflect the value in USD and local currency of items dispatched together:

After maintaining the batches for each item, and when cargo leaves the HRD premises, post the Goods Issue.

The Good Issue number in the Outbound Deliveries follows the 013* range.

When items are received at final destination, post the Proof of Delivery as per Chapter 6.5 Maintain Proof of Delivery

NOTE: The Outbound Delivery generated from a Direct Delivery process is visible on the various WINGS reports, such as the Logistics Reconciliation Report as any other delivery, with the only difference that the GI value is not reported, because there is no warehouse movement behind the good issue:

The outbound delivery type is derived from the SO type (e.g. ZNLF for External Outbound Delivery and ZWLF for Internal Outbound Delivery):

To define which Outbound Deliveries have been generated with Direct Delivery method, other WINGS monitoring reports such us the Activity Report POD Monitor show the Item category adopted in the SO and data can be filtered from there:
