When processing individual outbound deliveries, you can also post goods issue for them directly.

Before posting goods issue, you can specify the actual goods issue date without having to change the planned date by entering the actual goods issue date on one of the overview screens.

If you have not made an explicit entry for the goods issue date, the system uses the current date.

When you post goods issue, the SAP system automatically:

Updates the quantities in inventory management and delivery requirements in materials planning
Updates the value change in the balance sheet accounts for inventory accounting (the postings from the relevant accounting document are based on the cost of the material)
Generates additional documents for accounting, for example, for controlling
Generates the billing due list
Updates the status in all relevant sales documents

SAP system updates all old documents so as to indicate that delivery is complete. Stock Requirement list is also updated MD04 transaction, removing the stock item from the requirement list. Finally, delivery status is updated in SAP enabling the billing due list so that goods shipped can be billed.
