How to create outbound delivery during BD3/BDK (Third party sales process) in SAP public cloud?

[Ericaaaaaa]

Hi team,

Currently, based on our company's business needs, we are considering using the BD3 or BDK process for scenarios where third-party vendors directly ship goods to customers. In the standard BD3 or BDK process, creating an outbound delivery is not involved, as the goods are shipped directly from the vendor. However, from the company's perspective, we still need to create delivery documents.

Are there any other steps or settings we can adjust to generate these delivery documents? Would it be feasible to add a delivery note step to this process?

Hello,

In the standard BD3 or BDK process, Sales - Third-Party Order Processing typically, the outbound delivery is not created as goods are shipped directly from the third-party vendor to the customer. However, if there’s a need to create delivery documents at your company, you can consider adding a manual procedure to generate delivery notes.

Steps to Consider:

1. Manual Creation of Delivery Documents: Delivery Management - Creating Outbound Deliveries You can manually create delivery documents within the system using apps such as ‘Create Outbound Delivery - without Order Reference.’ This allows you to document shipments even when no outbound delivery is automatically created.

2. Use Business Process Scheduling: Adjustments in Business Process Scheduling Supply Chain - Use BPS with Outbound Delivery (BPS) can facilitate flexible scheduling and adaption of document types to create delivery documentation even if automatic deliveries are not part of the standard process.

3. Customization and Configuration: Within your SAP configuration environment, you might explore options such as defining custom delivery types or using APIs to create outbound deliveries based on internal needs rather than external triggers.

4. Integration with Other Processes: Consider integrating the documentation needs with related processes, such as billing or goods receipt, to maintain a streamlined workflow despite deviations from standard processes.
