hi,

If you want to combine a number of items in a sales document so that they are delivered together, you can create a delivery group.

If an item has more than one schedule line with confirmed quantities (for example, after an availability check) the system copies the date of the latest schedule line for this item and displays it on the delivery group overview screen.

When forming delivery groups, the system deletes the earlier schedule lines and copies their confirmed quantities into the latest schedule line.

If a complete delivery has not been requested, as soon as all the items for the bill of material are available, the system generates a correlated schedule line. This allows you to make a partial delivery on the first date on which all the items in the bill of material become available.

In other words, the first day on which all items in the bill of material are available, the system issues a confirmed quantity.

Prerequisites

For correlated schedule lines in bills of material (BOMs) in delivery groups, there are certain prerequisites for the delivery group.

These are as follows:

The delivery group may only contain one bill of material

It cannot contain any fixed quantities

It cannot contain any items that have partial delivery indicator C (one-time delivery)

It cannot contain any partially-delivered items

It can only contain items that can be at least partially delivered

It can only contain items that have a maximum of one requested schedule line

In Customizing for item categories, you can control that the system should generate correlated schedule lines for the delivery group. You can do this by selecting A in the Generate delivery group field for the item category in the bill of material main item.

First understand the importance of the delivery group. The system uses delivery groups to check the availability of items that should be delivered together. The delivery date of the latest schedule line in the delivery group is taken as the general date for the whole group.

Check this at the spro->Img->logistic execution -> Item category determination control settings - BOM/Config Tab - u will find Delivery Group.

At transaction level

In VA01/VA02... go to shipping tab in the overview screen.. there you have a field Delivery group next to material number... Assign the same numbers say 001 for all materials you need to deliver in group....

Thanks and Regards
