• WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_FREE Delivery list outbound

• WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_PICK Outbound deliveries to be
picked

The dictionary structure LIPOV is used as a basisfor list issue. The concept of customer enhancements means thatcustomers can complete the include structure LIPOVZ with fields of thesame name from tables LIKP, LIPS, VBUP and VBUK, to enhance theirdisplay variants with individual fields. These fields are automaticallycompleted by the system. As SAP name space must be used, SAPenhancements to structure LIPOV must make sure that no existing errorsfrom the same name fields are added. In addition there are two userexits:

• EXIT_SAPLV50Q_001 for reading data that has not
come from the above tables,

• EXIT_SAPLV50Q_002 for reading individual output
types for processing from the list. The documentation for both modulescontains further details.
