FM to simulate Delivery without Reference Sales Order

Is there other known FM that can be used to simulate deliveries aside from FM SD_SCD_SIMULATE_DELIVERIES? This FM SD_SCD_SIMULATE_DELIVERIES needs SALES_ORDER as mandatory importing parameter and I don't have SALES_ORDER. Please advise.

Thanks!

For creating deliveries without reference to a sales order, you can use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATENOREF.

Parameter | Opt. | Description

Import

• SHIP_POINT | | Shipping point
• DLV_TYPE | | Delivery type
• SALESORG | | Sales organization
• DISTR_CHAN | | Distribution channel
• DIVISION | | Division
• SHIP_TO | | Ship-to party
• DATE_USAGE | X | Use of dates in DATES
• DEBUG_FLG | X | Forces termination (ALE analysis)

Export

• DELIVERY | X | First generated delivery
• NUM_DELIVERIES | X | Number of generated deliveries

Parameter | Opt | Direction | Description

Tables

• DATES | | Import | Delivery date

• DLV_ITEMS | | Import | Delivery items to be created without reference

• SERIAL_NUMBERS | X | Import | Serial numbers

• EXTENSION_IN | X | Import | Additional input data

• DELIVERIES | X | Export | Generated deliveries

• CREATED_ITEMS | X | Export | Generated delivery items

• EXTENSION_OUT | X | Export | Additional output data

• RETURN | X | Export | Error log

I'm not sure if there is such a BAPI that only simulates an outbound delivery. A workaround you could use is to call this BAPI without calling BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT, and then do a ROLLBACK WORK in case there was already a COMMIT.
