• Key Concepts: 
  Customer delivery is a process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that involves the delivery of goods to customers. It is the final step in the order-to-cash process and involves the physical movement of goods from the seller to the buyer. The customer delivery process also includes the creation of a delivery document, which is used to track the delivery of goods and services. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, customer delivery is initiated by creating a delivery document. This document contains information about the customer, the goods being delivered, and any special instructions related to the delivery. Once the document is created, it is sent to the warehouse for processing. The warehouse then prepares the goods for shipment and sends them to the customer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a customer delivery document, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes details such as customer address, payment terms, and any special instructions related to the delivery. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all goods are properly packaged and labeled before they are shipped out. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Customer delivery is closely related to other processes in SAP SD such as billing and invoicing. Additionally, customer delivery can be integrated with other SAP modules such as Materials Management (MM) and Warehouse Management (WM). This allows for a more efficient order-to-cash process by streamlining data exchange between different modules.
