Delivery document is an electronic document where store when how much quantity of materials and where the materials should go on the other side, scheduling represent when materials will be delivered in that case backward scheduling and forward scheduling is used.

In general item category determination is happened through sales document type+item usage+item category group+higher level item category +default item category

In the creating from reference document item category determination is happened from copy control where source item category to target item category.if it is not maintained ,item category determination is happened though normal determination like sales document type+ item usage+item category group + higher level item category+default item category.

This kind of set-up is not primarily designed to serve as server clusters in case of system failure, the objective to enhance “configuration pipeline management”.

Variant is a variation of report which delivered either R/3 system or save it. Each variant contains different fields that are populated when you call up the report.

Static credit check is a check which is comparing the credit limit assign to the customer to the total value of open sales order, plus total value of open delivery that are not yet to invoiced plus total amount billing document that are yet to be passed on accounting plus total value of billing amount that are yet to be paid by customer.

Dynamic credit is a check which is comparing the credit limit assign to the customer to the total value of open sales order, plus total value of open delivery that are not yet to invoiced plus total amount billing document that are yet to be passed on accounting plus total value of billing amount that are yet to be paid by customer.
