Delivery Information
Definition
Contains the information that is required for a delivery, for example the sold-to-party or delivery date. Since you can create deliveries in a project independently of a sales order, this data is saved in delivery information in the Project System.
You can assign delivery information to the following objects:
WBS elements (for activity assigned networks)
Network headers (for header assigned networks)
Network activities
Components in the network
Use
When you create a delivery from the Project System, the delivery information for the selected components is determined as follows
If the component itself does not have any delivery information, the delivery information from the higher-level network activity, network header (for header assigned networks) or WBS element (for activity assigned networks) is used.
If none of these objects has delivery information the general data is used.
The delivery information is evaluated as follows:
It is used as a filter criterion, so that only certain components are selected, for instance those for a particular recipient or for a particular delivery period.
If you use such a filter criterion, the system selects both material components that meet the filter criterion and those which have had no delivery information explicitly assigned.
You can enter individual data (delivery date, delivery address) for each component in the delivery information. Specific delivery information takes preference over general data for the delivery.
If you enter different delivery dates or delivery addresses for several selected components, the system automatically creates several delivery documents, in which the components for one delivery address and one delivery date are entered in one delivery document.
