Hi
Creation of delivery means that you create the delivery document but there is no goods movement yet. After creation of delivery the requirements of the sales order will be removed from the sales order to the delivery, but the goods are still on your plant. The delivery has its own availability check (which works on other levels than in the order, for example you can do ATP-check on the batch level). moreover during delivery you can pack your material via Handling Units. There are also some other processes which are running during creation of the delivery.
The last process is the book of the goods issue. At this moment there is a real goods movement, requirements of delivery will be deleted and the goods leave the plant.
You have a possibility to finish a delivery process by a normal goods issue (with the goods movement), but you can do it also by another way (confirm service), of you deliver not the reals goods, but, for example, you deliver a service.
I hope, this explanation will help you a little bit further in understanding the delivery process.
