6. Toy can give item requirement which identifies a requirements routine for a delivery item that does not refer to a sales document. The delivery item must meet the requirements of the routine before it can be further processed. For example, During delivery processing, you may want to create delivery items for returnable packaging. You may also want the system to process these items and, for example, keep track of stocks of the packaging material. You can create a routine that identifies such items and processes them accordingly.
