Bill of lading in delivery in WM

Question

Hi All - Hope everybody is doing well.
I have a question on bill of lading. At what stage during the delivery creation against STO, we will generate the bill of lading and packing list? the scenario is we will create the delivery against STO from other plant. Further more what will be the configuration we need to do to generate the BOL and Picking list? please help with steps.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Khan

A Bill of lading[BOL] is a document issued by a carrier, by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified.
You can generate a Bill of Lading document before you Goods Issue the outbound delivery. Packing List and Picking List are two different documents. Picking List (Pick Slip) Guides a warehouse user on what needs to be picked against which document. A packing slip constitutes the contents of packing/handling unit information for a delivery/order. This is much like the documetation you find when you open a newly purchased electronic component like say a camera.
In order to use the Packing list PL00 (packing slip in delivery) you must do 'Packing' in the delivery note (edit->packing)..otherwise while printing there would be an error: V1032
You need to issue output from delivery item first VL02N >extras>delivery output>item>PL00
Delivery Note (ouput PL00/LD00 Packing List-Transaction VL74)
The delivery note, (packing List) contains the following information for each line item.
• The item number ordered, example 24231
• Your order number, since a shipment may contain items from various orders
having your PO # next to each line item will help your warehouse personnel
properly identify the items being received.
• Material or IDH number which identifies 24231 in SAP
• Quantity Ordered
• Quantity Shipped
• Net Weight
• Number of packages
• Batch Code
• Quantity/Pack
The BOL can be found in the Output determination for the Transportation [Transaction V/82]
Example:
1. Output determination starts in V7 with output type CMR1 and the assigned access sequence.
2. The access sequence defines the fields with which the key for the condition table is read.
(for example, condition table B017: shipment type of the shipment is read)
3. If the condition record is found, the system proposes an output with the output attributes found in the table.
4. The output proposal (possibly not yet processed) is stored after the document is posted as an output status record in the NAST table.
