You can combine outbound deliveries into groups. An outbound delivery can belong to several groups. You can create grouped outbound deliveries manually. When you process a delivery due list, the system combines all the outbound deliveries that it creates into one group.
Group number
All grouped deliveries are identified by a group number. You can use this number to access the group and to find the individual outbound deliveries that belong to that group.
Maintaining the group
To create, change, or display a group of deliveries manually, start at shipping in the initial menu.
You then select
Group of outb. deliveries
to branch to the screen where you maintain a group. Since groups can be formed in various areas of sales and distribution processing, different group types are defined. For general maintenance, the group type is entered manually on a separate screen, and for maintenance of a specific group you can choose the appropriate group type using the menu.
