3. Introduction
• SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM)
supports you in all activities connected with
the physical transportation of goods from one
location to another. You can use SAP TM to
perform the following activities, for example:
4. Introduction
• SAP TM harmonizes all transportation
applications in one Web-based solution that is
integrated in a business client shell.
9. Use of sap TM
• You can use SAP TM to create and monitor an
efficient transportation plan that fulfills the
relevant constraints (for example, service
level, costs, and resource availability). You can
determine options to save costs and to
optimize the use of available resources. You
can react to transportation events and find
solutions to possible deviations from the
original transportation plan.
10. Integration
• SAP ERP (or another ERP system)
• SAP Event Management (SAP EM)
• SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services.
• SAP EWM
11. Sub components
• Forwarding Order Management
• ERP Logistics Integration (Transfer orders and deliveries from an ERP
system)
• Freight Order Management
• Planning(Plan the transportation and select carriers)
• Forwarding Settlement and Freight
Settlement
• Master Data and Transportation
Network(Dispatch and monitor the transportation)
• Considering Dangerous Goods
12. Forwarding Order Management
• You can use the FOM component in SAP
Transportation Management (SAP TM) to
create, edit, and confirm forwarding orders
from your ordering parties. You can also
already specify the route and have the
transportation charges calculated here. The
orders then form the basis for transportation
planning.
13. Forwarding Order Management
• In addition to creating the forwarding order,
you can also enter the data as a forwarding
quotation and send it to the ordering party.
You can then create a forwarding order based
on the forwarding quotation
14. Forwarding Order Management
• An order from an ordering party to a carrier or logistics
service provider with respect to the transportation of
goods from a shipper to a consignee according to the
agreed-upon conditions.
• It contains the most important data for planning and
executing the transportation, such as the pick-up and
delivery address, dates/times, and the goods that are
to be transported. From the forwarding order, you can
determine and define the transportation route, and
create freight units and a transportation plan. You can
also have the system calculate the transportation
charges and start the invoicing.
15. Structure
• Areas for general data, business partners,
locations, and dates/times
• Stages
• List of order items
• Transportation charges
• Document flow
• Output management
• Status
16. Integration OF FOM
• Freight Order Management
• Planning
• Forwarding Settlement
• Master Data
17. ERP Logistics Integration
• You use integration of SAP ERP orders and
deliveries to facilitate transportation planning
and execution in SAP Transportation
Management (SAP TM) based on orders and
deliveries that are created in an SAP ERP
system. The orders and deliveries are
represented by transportation requirements in
SAP TM. The integration allows you to
continuously react to changes to orders and
deliveries that occur in the SAP ERP system.
19. Order Integration
• Orders that are created in SAP ERP can be transferred
to SAP TM, where they are stored as order-based
transportation requirements.
The following types of order in SAP ERP are supported by
integration with SAP TM:
• Sales order
• Customer returns
• Purchase order
• Stock transport order
• Returns purchase order
• Returns stock transport order
