  4% (2)

  15% (7)
• C
  9% (4)
• D
  72% (33)

Explanation

Shipping point (D) is the organizational unit in SAP specifically designed to process and monitor outbound deliveries - it represents a physical or logical location (a loading dock, warehouse exit, or carrier hub) from which goods leave the company, and all outbound delivery documents are assigned to a shipping point.

• Plant (A) is a production/storage facility used for manufacturing and inventory management, not delivery processing.
• Warehouse number (B) is a Warehouse Management (WM) unit for internal stock movements within a warehouse, not outbound logistics control.
• Distribution channel (C) is a Sales organizational unit describing how products reach customers (retail, wholesale, etc.) - it has no role in physical delivery execution.

Memory tip: Think "ships leave from a shipping point" - just as a harbor controls which ships depart and when, the shipping point controls all outbound deliveries in SAP logistics.
