General Data

Definition

Data that the system needs to create a delivery. This includes:

  • The shipping point

  • The ship-to party

  • The planned goods issue date

  • The organizational data

The general data is relevant for all delivery items, for which no data has been explicitly saved as delivery information.

Use

As far as possible, the system defines the general data automatically as follows:

  • Using sales order items that are assigned to the project.

If the sales order item itself has been selected or if it has been selected via a network with assignment to a sales order item, then this data is copied. If several sales order items exist for the project, a list appears from which you select the item to copy the data from.

  • From a delivery information item

If the general data cannot be defined from a sales order item, the system copies it from an item of delivery information, as long as the data agrees with that of the selected components, otherwise the fields remain empty.

You can change the general data that has been created as above; you have to edit manually the data that could not be defined automatically.
