Comments.Text: Yes, it is. For example recurrent neural networks may process sequences with different lengths, that is, with a different number of inputs.

Comments.Text: you say the input data are purchases, you should specify more in details how these data look like to have a precise answer. mikkola might be right but maybe recurrent neural nets are not suitable for your use case.

Comments.Text: the customer can do purchase only two products( A and B) in specefic quantities. for exemple a customer can purchase only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14 or 18 items of a product (A or B) or any linear combination of them.

  is it possible to create an adaptative neural network that can change the number of its inputs and outputs without having to train it each time it changes?
  the neural netwrok has to take purchases and affect them to the delivery man that will minimize the global traveled distance.
