What configuration setting is necessary for a sales order intended for delivery using the item category TAN?

The necessary configuration setting for a sales order intended for delivery using the item category TAN is that the schedule line category must be set to relevant for delivery. This is crucial because item category TAN is associated with goods that can be delivered. By ensuring that the schedule line category is set to relevant for delivery, the system allows for the creation of necessary delivery documents that facilitate the shipping process.

In SAP Sales and Distribution, the schedule line category plays a significant role in controlling how items are processed in terms of delivery. If the schedule line category is not marked as relevant for delivery, the sales order will not include the necessary attributes to trigger delivery processing, leading to inefficiencies or even preventing the fulfillment of the sales order.

Other options, while related to the sales order process, do not directly establish the link required for the delivery of goods in this context. Setting the sales document type as relevant to delivery ensures that the overall document supports delivery processes, while the item category settings concerning billing pertain to the invoicing aspects rather than the delivery mechanism itself. These elements are important for the overall workflow but do not specifically determine if the item can be delivered once the sales order is created.
