1. Shipping with SAP® Just
Got A Whole Lot Easier!
Enterprise Centralized Shipping (ECS) for SAP
Businesses running SAP have a significant
advantage. If, however, your business ships
orders via small parcel, LTL, and TL carriers, SAP
falls a bit short; as do most external 3rd-party
add-ons. Why? First, SAP does not include carrier-
compliant shipping as a standard transaction.
Second, to integrate most 3rd-party or carrier-
provided shipping applications with SAP, is costly
and does not allow leveraging your SAP platform.
When your business relies on

BRINGING TOGETHER TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

ECS is written in ABAP/4 and installs in your existing SAP landscape. Since ECS is deployed as an
ABAP object, its rating, shipping, and tracking functionality can be accessed from any SAP module (i.e.,
ERP, CRM, WM, TM, etc.) or SAP business process (i.e. Sales Order, Packing, Customer Service,
etc.). This approach to re-purposing technology across your SAP enterprise let’s you better leverage
your investment in SAP
