Fulfilling Immediate Deliveries with Direct
Outbound Delivery Orders
Purpose
You can fulfill immediate deliveries and choose between a push and pull procedure:
● In the push procedure, you make a decision for the outbound delivery without a sales order from the current requirements of the warehouse. For example, you want to use your available transportation capacities as optimally as possible by making use of unused space in a vehicle. Or you have to consider the special requirements of the consumer products industry. For example, you want to distribute a very recent delivery containing fresh goods (lettuce) to outbound deliveries going to different stores.
● In the pull procedure, the store or customer triggers the process. For example, you only notice later that an article in the last purchase order was not included. You call the warehouse and trigger immediate delivery, so that the goods still delivered on time.
The process flow for the pull procedure is the same as that for direct sales. However, the outbound delivery for the transportation process is relevant here.
Prerequisites
For a description of the prerequisites, see Processing of Direct Outbound Delivery Orders.
