What effect does confirming a transfer order have on the delivery document?

When a transfer order is confirmed, it directly impacts the delivery document by updating the pick quantity. This is a crucial step in the logistics execution process, particularly in warehouse management, as it reflects the actual quantity of goods that have been picked from inventory for shipment.

The process of confirming a transfer order indicates that the items have been successfully picked and are ready to be delivered. Consequently, the pick quantity in the associated delivery document is updated to ensure it accurately represents what has been selected for shipment. This dynamic reflects real-time inventory and helps maintain stock accuracy in the system.

The other options do not match the function of confirming a transfer order. Canceling a transfer order or creating a new delivery document are actions that would typically follow different processes and do not occur as a direct response to confirming an existing transfer order. Understanding this relationship between transfer orders and delivery documents is essential for effective warehouse management and inventory control within SAP S/4HANA.
