When creating an outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, which elements can be changed?

1. Plant

2. Planned goods issue date

3. Delivery quantity

4. Sales order number

The correct answer is: Delivery quantity

When creating an outbound delivery with reference to a sales order, the delivery quantity can indeed be changed. This flexibility allows for adjustments based on current inventory levels, customer requests, or modifications in the order fulfillment strategy. It is important to maintain process efficiency and customer satisfaction by accurately reflecting the quantities that can be dispatched. In contrast, certain elements such as the sales order number remain fixed since they define the specific transaction being referenced. Similarly, the plant, which indicates where the goods are to be shipped from, is generally determined by the sales order's configuration and cannot be altered at the point of creating the outbound delivery. The planned goods issue date might be set based on the sales order but does not typically allow for significant changes at this stage without creating complications in logistics.
