Explanation

Posting a goods issue (GI) is a pivotal step in the SAP SD delivery process that triggers several downstream effects. A is correct because GI updates the document flow, linking the delivery to the goods movement and making the chain (order → delivery → GI → billing) visible. C is correct because prior to GI, the delivery creates demand in MRP; posting GI removes those delivery requirements since stock has physically left inventory. D is correct because GI is the triggering event for delivery-related billing - the system will not allow invoice creation until goods have been issued.

B is wrong because warehouse tasks (transfer orders/EWM tasks) are confirmed before GI is posted, not as a result of it - GI is a subsequent accounting/inventory step. E is wrong because the delivery's overall status is not "complete" after GI; it remains open from a billing perspective until the invoice is created and settled.

Memory tip: Think of GI as the "handoff" moment - it closes the warehouse side (updating MRP), opens the billing side (enables invoice), and stamps the audit trail (document flow). The delivery itself isn't truly done until billing closes the loop, so overall status stays open.
