In the beginning, there
was SAP LE-TRA…
Shipment Execution
Constraints:
•
Capacity Planning and Optimization
•
A Split of Delivery (Subsequent Delivery Split)
•
Mixing of Inbound and Outbound
Shipping Planning & Optimization
Constraints:
•
Split of Delivery
•
Mixing of Inbound and Outbound
Transportation Planning & Execution

ECC (and EWM/EM/GTS) Integration New ventures and scenarios included
Constraints:

Key Considerations
What frameworks should TM be integrated with
•
Integration via ECC is most straight forward and all streams depend on this
•
EM is firmly integrated with EM (with no compelling reason to go through ECC)
Master Data
•
TM requires a great deal of Master Data (simply like EWM and so on)
•
Products, Business Partners, Locations, Agreements, Rate Tables, …
•
Some can be sent from ECC (CIF) however numerous must frequently be kept up in
TM
Order/Delivery Based Transport Requirements (OTR/DTR)
•
Represents the genuine interest for transportation originating from ECC
•
Very restricted maintainance in TM
•
Forwarding Orders are another type of transportation necessity that are
fundamentally utilized for Forwarding Companies (not Shippers). These can be
made/maintained manually in TM
Freight Units
•
Freight Units are critical objects in TM for execution and planning
•
ECC plans shipments depend on Deliveries while TM plan depend on Freight Units
•
E.g. the "greatest unit" with a similar source and goal
•
Can be anything from a full delivering container or truckload to a little
package/single item, contingent upon industry and particular necessities
•
Will not really compare to an HU in ECC or EWM
