A. LU INTRODUCTION (LU-SU4105)
Delivery Orders are commonly used with IRs to deliver products to External Consumption Units such as offices; clinics, the car workshop, (IR with an External Consumption Unit as “Location Requestor”). In that case, the OUT will automatically be created upon sourcing of the IR when sourced from stock and upon confirmation of the PO (or PO-line) when sourced on order. It is actually the confirmation of the IR-line which triggers the creation of the corresponding OUT-line.
The whole picking/packing/shipment process which has been introduced in the previous Learning Units and which is, by default, initiated by the sourcing of an FO from stock or on order, can be simplified significantly by delivering the products via “Delivery Orders” (simple OUT process). The 3 steps (pick/pack/ship) delivery process will be reduced to a 1 step (OUT) delivery process.
Note that it is possible to configure an instance so that all goods are automatically dispatched in this way (i.e. the delivery process will be simple OUT in all cases). See Administration chapter, Reconfigure.
However, shipping goods to a customer with the simple OUT process will be done with 1 (OUT) document only. As a consequence, documentation you will be able to print with a simple OUT process will be limited compared to the usual cargo documentations you may print if you use a pick/pack/ship/process.
