Functionality
A delivery is created for a stock transport order or for individualstock transport order items. A delivery split can mean that severaldeliveries are created.
With the exception of the stock transport order number in at least oneentry of the STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS parameter, all parameters are optional.

Opt.: Optional
Direction: Shows the direction used for table parameters.
The exported table parameters are initialized before processing. This
deletes any data that was in these parameters before the BAPI wascalled.

Imported parameters
Shipping point (SHIP_POINT)
If the shipping point is not specified, the first shipping point thatcan be determined among the referenced purchase order items is selected.
Delivery creation date (DUE_DATE)
The delivery creation date selected is December 12 9999, unlessspecified otherwise.
DEBUG_FLG
For internal use only. The DEBUG_FLG can be used in ALE inboundprocessing to force a termination, thereby making the analysis of theprocess easier.
Stock transport order (STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS-REF_DOC)
Unless specified otherwise, the entire order is delivered. This meansthat it is not necessary to list all the order items. It is sufficientto specify the order number of the STO.
Stock transport order item (STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS-REF_ITEM)
The order item must be specified if one of the following applies:

• Not all order items in the order are to be delivered


• You want to specify delivery quantities


• Order items are to be delivered in different deliveries (external number
assignment)
Caution:

• An order item must not occur more than once in STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS.


• An order item must not occur if the order number occurs on its own in
another entry.
Delivery quantities (STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS-LFIMG)
If no delivery quantities are specified, the delivery creation date isused to determine the delivery quantities from the schedule lines.Otherwise, the delivery quantity is copied from the original quantity.
If the delivery quantity is specified, the sales unit must be specified,either as an SAP code (SALES_UNIT) or an ISO code (SALES_UNIT_ISO).
Delivery quantities can only be specified for individual order items.
External delivery number (STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS-DELIV_NUMB)
A delivery number from the external number range interval can be
specified.
Serial numbers (SERIAL_NUMBERS)
In Parameter SERIAL_NUMBERS, serial numbers can be assigned to thedelivery items that supply the specified order items.
Additional import data (EXTENSION_IN)
In Parameter EXTENSION_IN, additional data can be transferred. For moreinformation, see the documentation for BAdI BADI_DLV_CREATE_STO_EXTIN.

Exported parameters
Delivery number (DELIVERY)
Generated delivery (key field in BOR object type LIKP). In case of adelivery split, this is the first generated delivery.
Number of generated deliveries (NUM_DELIVERIES)
In case of a delivery split, more than one delivery may be generated.
Generated deliveries (DELIVERIES)
List of all generated deliveries (including DELIVERY).
Generated delivery items (CREATED_ITEMS)
List of all generated delivery items.
Additional export data (EXTENSION_OUT)
In case of a synchronous call, additional data can be returned to thecaller after delivery creation, in parameter EXTENSION_OUT. See thedocumentation for BAdI BADI_DLV_CREATE_EXTOUT.
Error log (RETURN)
Parameter RETURN contains the error log. In the same way as intransaction VL10, deliveries may be created even if there were errormessages during processing. Since an asynchronous caller of the BAPI(ALE) only learns of the success of processing via the RETURN parameter,error messages are converted to warning messages if at least onedelivery could be created. If a delivery is created successfully withconverted error messages, message VLBAPI061 (see below) is output.
In addition, RETURN contains the following important messages:
Message ,, Description
BAPI000 ,, A delivery could be created
BAPI001 ,, A delivery could not be created
VLBAPI061 ,, Delivery created with errors (see warning messages)
VL311 ,, Delivery has been saved
Thus, in case of an asynchronous call, the VL311 messages tell you whichdeliveries could be created.

Transactional Behavior


• No COMMIT WORK.


• ROLLBACK WORK, if no delivery could be created.

Notes


• This BAPI can deliver several orders simultaneously, but is not designed
for mass delivery.

• The BAPI cannot be called multiple times in one logical unit of work
(LUW). After a successful call, a COMMIT WORK is required of the callerbefore this BAPI or another BAPI of function group V50I can be called.

• The BAPI cannot specify delivery item numbers.

Further information


• Documentation for parameter STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS.


• Documentation for the BAdIs:

BADI_DLV_CREATE_STO_EXTIN
BADI_DLV_CREATE_EXTOUT

Description
Delivery number.
If more than one delivery is created due to a delivery split, the firstdelivery number is returned.

Description
Number of deliveries generated.

Value range
0, 1: ,, No deliveries generated, one delivery generated
> 1: ,, More than one delivery generated due to delivery split

Description
The value 'X' forces processing to terminate for debugging purposes,particularly for ALE inbound processing.

Description
Delivery creation date for selection of due scheduling lines.

Default
December 31 9999

Description
Shipping point.

Default
If no shipping point is transferred, the first shipping point that canbe determined is selected.

Description
CREATED_ITEMS contains all the generated delivery items.

Description
DELIVERIES contains all the generated delivery numbers.

Description
In parameter EXTENSION_IN, you can transfer additional data.
This data can be processed with the following BAdI:
Enhancement spot: ,, ES_SAPVL50I_BADI
BADI definition: ,, BADI_DLV_CREATE_STO_EXTIN
Method: ,, ADDITIONAL_INPUT

Description
In parameter EXTENSION_OUT, you can return additional data to asynchronous caller.
The following BAdI is available for doing this:
Enhancement spot: ,, ES_SAPVL50I_BADI
BADI definition: ,, BADI_DLV_CREATE_EXTOUT
Method: ,, ADDITIONAL_OUTPUT

Description
Contains the messages that were triggered during processing.
Delivery created
If a delivery could be created, RETURN contains message BAPI 000:
"OutboundDelivery has been created. Externalreference: ".
No delivery created
If no delivery could be created, RETURN contains message BAPI 001:

"No instance of object type OutboundDelivery has been created.External reference: ".
is only filled if a delivery numberwas transferred by the caller. In this case, and are the same. Otherwise, is initial.
Delivery created with errors
In case of success (BAPI000), any error messages that occurred areoutput as warning messages. This is necessary to ensure that the IDocstatus is set to "successful" (53) by ALE in case of an asynchronouscall.
If error messages have been converted to warning messages in this way,RETURN contains message VLBAPI 061:
"Delivery created with errors (see warningmessages)".

Description
Serial numbers with reference to stock transport order items.
A serial number is assigned to the delivery item that refers to thespecified stock transport order item.

Description
Parameter STOCK_TRANS_ITEMS contains the stock transport order items tobe delivered.
Overview
Field ,, Optional ,, Description
REF_DOC ,, ,, Stock transport order
REF_ITEM ,, X ,, Stock transport order item
DLV_QTY ,, X ,, Delivery quantity
SALES_UNIT ,, X ,, Sales unit
SALES_UNIT_ISO ,, X ,, Sales unit (ISO)
DELIV_NUMB ,, X ,, External delivery number
If all the order items are to be delivered, it is sufficient to specifythe order number in one entry of the table parameter. The deliveryquantities are then determined from the schedule lines and the deliverycreation date.
If you want to specify delivery quantities or deliver only specificorder items, the order item must be specified.
You must specify the sales unit in field SALES_UNIT or SALES_UNIT_ISO,if a delivery quantity is specified.
In field DELIV_NUMB, you can specify a delivery number from the externalnumber range interval.
Restrictions


• An order item can be referenced only once in this table parameter.


• If the entire order has already been referenced, by entering the order
number on its own, individual order items can no longer be listed inother entries of the table parameter.

• A delivery split for an order item cannot be forced by entering
different delivery numbers.
