• Key Concepts: 
  Proof of delivery (POD) is a document that is used to confirm that goods have been delivered to the customer. It is a key component of the SAP SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution module. PODs are typically signed by the customer or recipient of the goods, and provide evidence that the goods have been received. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, PODs are created when goods are shipped from a warehouse or manufacturing facility. The POD will include information such as the date of shipment, the quantity of goods shipped, and the recipient's signature. This information can then be used to track shipments and ensure that goods are delivered on time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a POD in SAP, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes the date of shipment, the quantity of goods shipped, and the recipient's signature. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all documents are properly stored in order to maintain an accurate record of shipments. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Proof of delivery is closely related to other documents such as invoices and packing slips. Invoices provide evidence that payment has been received for goods, while packing slips provide evidence that goods have been shipped from a warehouse or manufacturing facility. Additionally, proof of delivery can be used in conjunction with other documents such as bills of lading and customs documents in order to track shipments across international borders.
