Diagnosis
You can restrict the delivery creation period with this selectioncriteria.
This enables you to just select order items that have at least oneschedule line due for shipping during this period.

System Response
If you have chosen a list that displays individual schedule lines, thesystem displays all schedule lines that contain an open deliveryquantity and that should be created before the "delivery creation dateto".

Procedure
For day-to-day activites or for scheduling the delivery creation reportat short intervals (for example, every hour), you should specifiy thecurrent date as "delivery creation date from".
You should deliver due schedule lines (with a blank "delivery creationdate from" when there is plenty of system capacity (for example, atnight). You should also check whether it would be a good idea toprocess backorders.
If you specify the "delivery creation date from" field but leave the"delivery creation date to" field blank, the system only selects orderswith schedule lines due for shipping on that day.
