  Outbound Delivery Request

Definition

The outbound delivery request is a document containing all the relevant logistics data in the outbound delivery process right from the origin of the outbound delivery process (sales order, for example).

Use

You use the outbound delivery request to save the transferred data from a reference document in order to create an outbound delivery order .

Using the outbound delivery request, you can also process or reject incoming changes to an existing outbound delivery order.

Structure

For a description of the structure for an outbound delivery request, see Documents in Delivery Processing .

Integration

The execution of the actions depends on the settings in the Post Processing Framework (PPF) .

The following configuration exists in the standard system:

  • The delivery process receives a message from a reference document with all the relevant logistics data. An outbound delivery request is created automatically as a result of this message. The delivery process saves the information from the message in the outbound delivery request. The message itself is not saved.

    An outbound delivery order is created automatically from the outbound delivery request.

  • Changing an existing outbound delivery order:

    If a change to an existing outbound delivery order is rejected, an inactive outbound delivery request (inactive version) is created in addition to the existing active outbound delivery request. You can process the data in the inactive outbound delivery request and you can create a new outbound delivery order by activating the request manually.
