 Printing Delivery Notes

Use

You use this function in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) to print delivery notes.

Prerequisites

You have created either an outbound delivery order or an outbound delivery.

Features

EWM prints the delivery note based on the PPF action /SCWM/PRD_OUT_PRINT for an outbound delivery order or /SCWM/FD_OUT_PRINT for an outbound delivery.

  • By default, EWM uses the predefined SAP Smart Form /SCWM/DLV_NOTE. However, you can also create your own SAP Smart Form to use when printing the delivery note and for form determination.

  • You can also print delivery notes using a PDF-based form. To do this, you must change the assigned processing of the PPF action from Smart Forms Print to External Communication in Customizing for EWM.

    For more information about action conditions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Cross-Process Settings Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Actions Next navigation step Change Actions and Conditions Next navigation step Define Conditions End of the navigation path .

EWM automatically prints the delivery note for an outbound delivery as soon as you have posted the goods issue. You can also use a PPF action to manually print a delivery note for an outbound delivery or outbound delivery order.
