To use the extended inbound delivery processes, you must carry out the following general activities:

Standard Delivery Settings

  1. Define delivery types in Define Delivery Types and item categories in Define Item Categories for Deliveries. You can access these settings in Customizing by choosing Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries.
