Business Context and Use

You can use this outbound operation in the Sell from Stock business scenario.

In the Sell from Stock scenario, you accept the goods purchase orders and generate a request to Logistics to fulfill the order. The order is fulfilled by delivering the ordered goods from a warehouse. A delivery request to the relevant warehouse is generated, which results in a delivery to be executed. The planning system or the sales order system is informed about this delivery to be executed.

At a certain point, delivery execution begins and the delivery to be executed becomes the actual delivery, along with its various processing stages. You can use the Inform of Outbound Delivery outbound operation to request information about the delivery processing status at various stages. This information is passed on to the applications involved, for example, the sales order system or planning system.

In this way, you can use the sales order system to find out the current status of your delivery and the best-possible planned delivery date on the basis of the latest data.
