SAP Note 16449 - Different ways to create deliveries VL01 / VL04

Symptom:

If services and value items are specifically created with VL01, they are copied into the delivery. If you create deliveries using VL04 = Edit delivery due list, however, these items are not copied into the resulting deliveries.

POSAR

Reason and Prerequisites

VL01 reads the specified order and treats these items according to the copying requirements (Table TVCPL). Here, for services and value items, you can choose another condition routine (102) that does not include the check for the same shipping point, for example.
VL04 is exclusively for editing the delivery due index and processes only those items which belong to the selected delivery due indexes. If you call up VL04 for shipping point 0001, for example, only those order items assigned to this shipping point will be processed.

Solution
If you have placed an order for service or value items that are not dependent on normal items, please adjust your Customizing so that the same shipping point or route are assigned to these items as to the normal items. In this way, the service or value items belong to the same delivery due index as the normal items and are processed as usual by VL04.
For value items without shipping point, you should use an item type that does not allow schedule lines. In this case, the value item is delivered in collective processing together with the other item(s) of the sales order.
