Material Delivery Types
In LN a material line always has a delivery type. This field is not directly available in Mobile Service, only indirectly. In Mobile Service, the fields Group and Source are visible. The reason for this is that the delivery type in LN is a field that determines how the materials are shipped. The engineer in Mobile Service can only tell something about the way he uses materials and where he takes them from. He cannot influence the way that LN ships them, only where they are shipped to (location or car).
In this table, you can view the most important mappings between Delivery Type in LN, Group, and Source in Mobile Service for materials, when the materials are created in LN or defaulted from LN.

Note:
- If you add new materials in Mobile Service, you need to specify the Material Group and Source. Dependent on this information and the default delivery type from Item Service Data in LN the resulting delivery type of the material line in LN will be determined.
- It might be the case you do not have authorization for some delivery types dependent on the settings in your Service User Template.
