When creating and changing outbound deliveries, you can add the following objects to them:

• Order-independent items
• Entire orders
• Individual order items from other orders

You can use this function, if, for example, the sales department was not sure whether a material was to be delivered with packaging material or in a returnable packaging container.

You can only enter an item that is not dependent on an order in an outbound delivery if the delivery permits the item category for that item. The item category is determined on the basis of the delivery type and item category group in the material master record. Thus, items for which an order has to be created first cannot be added to an outbound delivery. Your system configuration dictates which materials can be included in an outbound delivery. In the standard version of the SAP System, only materials with the item category VERP can be added to a delivery.

In order to add items such as packaging materials, which are not dependent on an order, to a delivery, proceed as follows:

2. Enter the number of the outbound delivery to which you want to add an item.
3. Select Enter.
