Enter Delivery Codes

Explanation

Use this activity to enter codes for the delivery surveillance. This code is used only for information purposes against a purchase order line. For example, this can be used to prioritize purchase order lines. When entering a purchase order line, you can add a delivery code, i.e., informing the supplier that this particular order line needs special attention. Any two-digit value can be used as a code. The corresponding delivery code description provides more details on the code for the supplier.

The delivery control code can be used on purchase orders for both part and no-number part order lines.

There is a specific query field in the Purchase Order Lines window, which makes it easy to track purchase order lines with a specific delivery code.

You can use any character or figure to indicate the type of delivery code.
