Delivering the order
After a product has been produced and has been put into the inventory, it can be packaged and delivered to the customer. Depending on the specific manufacturing environment, a product might not even sit in a physical inventory location at all and instead, it might be shipped almost immediately to the customer. Meanwhile, in another industry, you might have a product that is produced and then sits in a warehouse for months before delivery. Of course, it is always possible something gets produced and gets left in dead stock. In this case, you would never have a delivery order and instead use a process to determine how to manage that dead inventory.
