• Key Concepts: 
  Initiating Outbound Delivery is a process in SAP Supply Chain Planning and Control (SRD-SCM-SCP) that allows users to create outbound deliveries for goods that have been ordered. This process is used to ensure that the goods are delivered to the customer in a timely manner. It also helps to keep track of the goods that have been shipped and those that are still in transit. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to initiate an outbound delivery, users must first create a sales order for the goods that need to be shipped. Once the sales order is created, users can then use the Initiating Outbound Delivery process to create an outbound delivery document. This document will contain all of the necessary information about the goods that need to be shipped, such as the quantity, weight, and destination. Once the outbound delivery document is created, users can then use it to generate a shipping label and other documents needed for shipping. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an outbound delivery document, it is important to make sure that all of the necessary information is included. This includes the quantity of goods being shipped, the weight of each item, and the destination of the shipment. Additionally, it is important to double-check all of the information before submitting the document for processing.
