  Delivery category is a component of the SAP Cross-Application Components (CA) module. It is used to classify deliveries according to their purpose. Delivery categories are used to determine the type of delivery document that is created when goods are delivered. The delivery category also determines the type of goods receipt document that is created when goods are received. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Delivery categories are used to classify deliveries according to their purpose. For example, a delivery can be classified as a “sales order” or “purchase order” delivery. The delivery category also determines the type of goods receipt document that is created when goods are received. This document can be either an invoice or a credit note, depending on the delivery category.
