The Checking Rule B – SD Delivery is used for the availability check purpose.0 Definition In this configuration it is specified whether an SD delivery is to be created in the case of a PO with a certain combination of supplying plant and document type. It is also specified which delivery type and checking rule is to be used for delivery.
