Filed under: Sale and Distribution

A sales document in SAP system is grouped into two levels: header and item. The data is distributed across these levels as follows:

Sales document header
The data for the document header is valid for the entire document. This includes, for example, data for the ship-to party and schedules for shipping processing.
Delivery document item
Each item in the sales document contains its own data. This includes data about the material, quantities and weights as well as stock information.

Each sales document can have several items.The items can be controlled differently. Examples include material item, free-of-charge item or text item.

The delivery document in SAP system does not contain schedule lines. Each schedule line in the sales document can become an item in the delivery document.

To process delivery documents efficiently, the data can be read and processed in different views. The views are grouped into overview, header and item screens.
