A delivery that is related to an incoming good is an inbound delivery. It differs from outbound delivery in that outbound delivery refers to situations in which goods leave a plant, whereas inbound delivery is concerned with receiving goods. As a result, the receiving entity creates an inbound delivery.
Figure 1 Inbound delivery in Intercompany STO
When an outbound delivery's post-goods issue is completed, an inbound delivery can be initiated automatically. As a result, the outbound delivery serves as a reference document for the inbound delivery, and through confirmation controls in the Purchase order, details are visible. Any changes made to outbound delivery would also be made to inbound delivery.
Configuration:
Step 1: Output Type for Delivery
Create new output type or use the existing one (SPED). You can manually create it (Tcode V/34).

Step 2: Assign SPED to Output Determination Procedure INT000 (copy of header output procedure V10000). Keep Requirement set to "1" so that output only occurs when Post Good Issue has been completed.
