Creating Unscheduled Deliveries

When you deliver products to customers who do not have sales orders that initiate the shipping process, the delivery is called an unscheduled delivery. The Outbound Inventory Management system enables you to create unscheduled deliveries using the Unscheduled Deliveries form.

You set up an unscheduled delivery load by creating an order to load a vehicle and move the product to in-transit inventory. The outbound inventory agreement selection processing options for the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) define whether the system attaches an outbound inventory agreement to the order. If the Outbound Inventory Agreement Selection processing option for P4210 is set for automatic agreement selection (values 1 or 3), the system automatically resolves and attaches an outbound inventory agreement to the sales order.

Note: The system automatically attaches outbound inventory agreement only if one agreement exists for the entered search criteria. If more than one agreement exists, the system does not resolve an outbound inventory agreement for the order created for unscheduled delivery. To attach an outbound inventory agreement to such unscheduled delivery, you must first create a sales order with the required outbound inventory agreement. You must then associate the sales order to the unscheduled delivery.
