Explanation

Delivering materials from a project (in SAP Project System) requires two system-level prerequisites: a delivery document type must be configured (A) so the system knows how to process the outbound delivery, and a shipping point must be assigned (C) as it is a mandatory organizational element that controls how and where goods are physically dispatched.

Why B is wrong: A sold-to party (customer) is a sales-process concept - project deliveries can be made without a customer relationship, so this is not a prerequisite.

Why D is wrong: This is a common trap. Project-based deliveries can be created directly from the project without a preceding sales order - that independence from the sales order cycle is actually one of the key distinctions of project delivery versus standard SD delivery.

Memory tip: Think of it as the two things the system needs vs. what the sales process needs. The system needs a document type (to know what it's creating) and a shipping point (to know where it's shipping from) - both are configuration/organizational prerequisites, not business-process steps like sales orders or customer assignments.
