About the Availability Check in Shipping

When you create a delivery, an availability check is initiated for the picking date. This check is carried out along the same lines as in the sales order.

It makes sense to carry out an availability check in the delivery for the following reasons. If you do not carry out an availability check for particular materials in the sales order, you should definitely check whether the order quantity is available and can be delivered when you create the delivery. Even if you have checked the availability situation in the order, it makes sense to check it once again in the delivery. The availability check is calculated using planned inward and outward movements of goods. Therefore the delivery situation might have changed in the meantime due to unforeseen circumstances, such as lost output. The availability check in the delivery takes any such changes into account.
