Outbound Delivery and Storage Location

Question

hey everybody,
this is our status quo:
we create a outbound delivery based on a sales order & at the end of the creation of the delivery we are doing the goods issue immediately to do the material movement. we do that, because we need a material document for the physical packer in the storage. at the start of the physical packing he gives this material document to the person in the warehouse and this person picks the needed material.
we need a solution for our new scenario:
in the future we want use handling units within deliverys. in these HU's we want to pack the material included in the delivery note.
here are the steps:
1. outbound delivery creation
2. we need a material movement (material document) from one storage location (A) to an other storage location (B)
3. the packer is packing the material physical and within SAP in the new created handling units
4. when the packing operation is finished, the packer gives information to SD person and the goods issue will be done. material movement will be done from the storage location (B).
does anyone has an idea for us?
another information: we don't want to do the material movement manually
best regards & TIA

Dear,
As per standard SAP , once you assign the storage location in OUTBOUND DELIVERY, system will tend to pick the storage location assigned to it.
But as per your client requirement, you need to do the transfer posting from one storage location to other storage location and then you would like to post the "Goods issue" from the new storage location.
If it has to be done, you need to update the "Outbound delivery"  with new storage location before posting the  goods issue.
Is there any business advantage with this new process,If  so i can suggest you one work around if you are doing transfer posting with respect to "Each out bound delivery"
Details  as Follows:
Step-1:
While transferring the stock from one storage location to other storage location(Movement type:311 single step), mention the out bound delivery number in "Document header text" or "Material Slip".
Step-2:
Then take a report of those transfer posting documents and then update all the outbound deliveries for new storage location.To update in mass, you can set BDC with the help of ABAPER
Step:3
Then do "Post goods issue".
