How to determine multiple delivery types for a one sales document type

When you create a delivery note with reference to a sales order in SAP, the delivery type is determined based on the configuration you have done in the sales document type customizing. You can see it in the below IMG path:

Sales and Distribution / Sales / Sales Documents / Sales Document Header / Define Sales Document Type
Field "Delivery Type" under the section "Shipping"

During delivery note creation, if you have maintained correct copy control settings, system will automatically determine this delivery type for the delivery document.

Now let's say, you need to determine a different delivery type (Eg: ZLF) for same sales document type. This cannot be done automatically via standard configuration. But it is possible to switch the delivery type during delivery creation in the transaction VL01N. But this feature is not available in any other delivery creation transactions such as VL10A, VL10C, etc. 

Happy Reading!!
