Transportation Configuration
Transportation Management covers the complete transportation process: create, execute, consolidate, and monitor
shipments.
With mySAP ERP, you can maintain high levels of customer satisfaction, improve capital efficiency with better productivity
in logistics, and reduce costs by lowering inventory levels and consolidating shipments through support of the following
business activities:
Create optimized transportation plans, execute plans, and monitor shipments to deliver products on time and on budget.
Apply flexible options for consolidating deliveries and orders into shipments, including rule-based automation, manual
consolidation, and collaborative order combination through the Internet.
Manage the multiple processes and reports required for foreign trade.
Transportation planning - Optimize shipments; assign carriers to shipments, and tender shipments to assigned
carriers. You can now carry out transportation planning and shipment completion using a new organizational unit, the
transportation planning point. Basically, the transportation planning point consists of a group of employees responsible for
organizing transportation activities. Each shipment is assigned to a specific transportation planning point for transportation
planning and shipment completion. You must define the various transportation planning points used in your organization in
Customizing for Corporate Structure before they can be used to perform transportation functions. You can define this
organizational unit according to your company’s needs, for example, according to geographical location or mode of
transport.
Transportation execution - Select carriers, calculate freight costs, settle shipment costs, and print documents.
Use denied-party and embargo lists when shipping internationally.
Freight costing - Calculate and settle freight costs based on actual shipments and current rates, and use this
information to verify invoices.
Incoming shipments in Materials Management based on purchase orders and shipping notifications
· Outbound shipments in Sales and Distribution based on sales orders and deliveries
There are various terms and terminologies associated with the transportation module with which one needs to be
familiar
Shipping Type.
Route.
Shipment Type.
The shipment type contains all the important control features for a shipment, such as the number range, whether
the shipment is inbound or outbound, how leg determination is performed, and which leg indicator has been set
for a shipment of this type. You can also enter a selection variant for the shipment type. The values defined in the
variant appear on the selection screen when you create a shipment document of this type.
Individual shipment
Collective shipment
Transportation chain
Individual shipment
One destination
Collective shipment
Several destinations
Transportation chain
A transportation chain is useful if you are dealing with deliveries that will be transported using multiple modes of
transportation (and are thus processed by different departments at the transportation planning point).
Transportation Chain
The shipping document is the central element of transportation planning and shipment completion. It contains all
the information necessary for carrying out transportation.
Legs
Specify output required for transportation (such as shipping papers or EDI messages)
The meaning of trade terms vary from country to country. To avoid confusion, standard terms called Inco terms
have been derived & published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to make the terms of sale clear
and precise. Inco terms provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used
trade terms between buyer and seller, in foreign trade.
These Terms describe in detail the rights, responsibilities, obligations and costs of the sellers and buyers in
international trade, with particular reference to the transportation of goods. Some terms were designed with sea
vessels in mind while others were designed to be applicable to all modes.
1. Cost
Who is responsible for the expenses involved in a shipment at a given point in a shipment's journey
2. Control
3. Liability
Who is responsible for paying damage to goods at a given point in a shipment transit
Types of Incoterms
There are 13 different terms divided into 4 categories. Each of these terms deals with different situations
involving the movement of goods.
1. E-Terms
Departure Terms where sellers responsibilities are fulfilled when goods are ready to depart from facilities. It has
minimum seller obligation. Here the seller makes the goods available to the buyer at the seller's own premises.
Ex means from. Work means factory, mill or warehouse, which are the sellers premises. Ex- Works means the
seller's only responsibility is to make the goods available at the seller's premises, ie., the works or factory. The
seller is not responsible for loading the goods on the vehicle provided by the buyer unless otherwise agreed. The
buyer bears the full costs and risk involved in bringing the goods from there to the desired destination. The
buyer is responsible for all transportation costs, duties, and insurance, and accepts risk of loss of goods
immediately after the goods are purchased and placed outside the factory door. Ex-Works represents the
minimum obligation of the seller. Some manufacturers may use the term Ex Factory, which means the same as Ex
Works. The term is applicable to all modes of transport including multimodal.
2. F-Terms
Terms beginning with F refer to shipments where the primary cost of shipping is not paid for by the seller. Seller
has to deliver goods to a carrier appointed by buyer.
The main characteristics of the F terms are that the main carriage is not paid by the seller.
The Seller fulfills his/her obligations when the goods are delivered to carrier at a named point specified by buyer.
The risk of loss or damage to the goods is transferred from seller to buyer at that time. If the place chosen is the
seller's place of business, the seller must load the goods onto the transport vehicle; otherwise, the buyer is
responsible for the main carriage/freight, cargo insurance and other costs and risks. Has been designed to meet
the requirements of multi-modal transport such as containers, traffic by trailers and ferries.
Seller transports the goods from his place of business, clears goods for export and places goods alongside ship
on quay. The risk of loss then shifts to the buyer. Buyer is responsible for loading the goods onto the vessel and
for paying all costs involved in shipping the goods to the final destination. Applicable only to sea and inland
waterway.
FOB states that the seller is responsible for delivering the goods from his place of business and loading them
onto the vessel at the port of shipment named in the sales agreement as well as clearing customs in the country
of export. As soon as the goods cross the ship's threshold the risk of loss is transferred to the buyer. The buyer
is responsible for all transportation and insurance costs from that point, and also for clearing customs in the
country of import. The seller pays the cost of loading the goods. Applicable only to sea and inland waterway
transport.
3. C-Terms
Terms beginning with C deal with the shipments where the seller pays for shipping, but without assuming the
risk of loss or damage to the goods or additional costs due to events occurring after shipment and dispatch. The
seller is also responsible for export customs clearance. Seller is not liable for risk/loss/damage to the goods
during shipping.
Requires the seller to pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named destination, but the
risk of loss or damage to the goods as well as any cost increases are transferred to the buyer when the good
pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. Insurance is the buyer's responsibility. The buyer is responsible for
the import customs clearance and other costs and risks.Applicable only to sea and inland waterway
Seller is responsible for delivering the goods onto the vessel of transport and clearing customs in the country of
export. He is also responsible for purchasing insurance with the buyer named as the beneficiary.Risk of loss
transfers to buyer as the goods cross the ship's rail. If these goods are damaged or stolen during international
transport, the buyer owns the goods and must file a claim based on insurance procured by the seller.
Seller clears the goods for export, delivers them to the carrier and is responsible for carriage costs to the named
place of destination. Risk of loss or damage to the goods transfers to the buyer when the goods have been
delivered to the custody of the final carrier. Applicable to all modes of transport.

Delivery of goods and cargo insurance to the named place of destination at seller's expense. Applicable to all
modes of transport.
3. D-Terms
Shipper/seller responsibility ends when goods arrive at some specific point. Seller has to bear all costs and risks
needed to bring the goods to the country of destination. These are essentially arrival/delivery terms.
The seller is responsible for all costs involved in delivering the goods to the named point and place at the
frontier. The seller’s obligations are fulfilled when the goods have arrived at the frontier but before the customs
border of the country named in the sales contract. Risk of loss transfers from seller to buyer at the frontier. The
buyer pays the cost and bears the risk of unloading the goods, clearing customs and transporting the goods to
the final destination. This term is applicable to all modes of transport.
The seller makes the goods available to the buyer on board the ship at the destination named in the sales
contract. Seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved in delivering the goods to a named port of
destination. Upon arrival, the goods are made available to buyer on board the vessel. The buyer must pay the
cost of unloading the goods and any customs duties. Applicable only to sea and inland waterway transport.
The seller makes the goods available to the buyer on the quay or wharf at the destination named in the sales
contract. Seller bears all costs and risks in transporting to the wharf (quay) at the port of destination. The buyer
must pay duties, clear customs, and pay cost/bear risk from that point onward. Applicable only to sea and inland
waterway transport.
The seller is responsible for all costs involved in delivering the goods to a named place of destination where the
goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer. The buyer assumes risks of loss at that point and must clear
customs, pay duties and provide inland transportation and insurance to the final destination. The term is
applicable to all modes of transport.
Seller bears costs up to named point of destination including customs clearance at the country of import. Under
DDP, the seller literally provides door to door delivery, including customs clearance in the port of export and the
port of destination. Thus the seller bears the entire risk of loss until goods are delivered to the buyer's premises.

With reference the sales order create a delivery using TCode - VL01N and pick the goods.
TCode: VT01N
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to
schedule the transportation.
Now create a shipment using TCode - VT01N (SAP Easy Access - Logistics - Logistic Execution - Transportation -
Transportation Planning - Create - Single document)
and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the
transportation planning and execution.
After the deliveries are scheduled by shipment and the shipment is executed, now it is time to maintain and close the
shipment document in order to record all relative information and ready for the shipment cost settlement.
So, save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a
transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at
least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
TCode: VI01 (SAP Easy Access - Logistics - Logistic Execution - Transportation - Shipment cost - Create - Single

After creation of shipment cost doc. The document is ready settling the Shipment cost.
Step 3.1. Use TCode VI02, enter shipment cost no. and press enter.
Step 3.2. Then go to Overview screen Freight cost items, Select the line item and double click it.
Step 3.3. Go as main menu: Item - Acc. assignment, you enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost
will be posted.
On the Standard change, details - Freight cost items screen, then check the check box "Transfer", which means you will
transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will
used to settle the cost, so after you check the "Transfer" check box.
Press save button on the current screen.
After the shipment cost settled in shipment cost document, it has the following affects:
It creates a service entry sheet that refers to the purchase order determined.
Generally process is
1) VL01N
2) VT01
3) VL02N - PGI
4) VI01
5) ML81N - Service Entry Sheet
6) MIRO - Invoice Verification
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once
goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning
after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents
during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue.
Route can be manually overwritten during a sales order processing. You can re-determine the route in the outbound
delivery based on weight (weight group) provided it is allowed in the configuration of the delivery type.
The loading time and pick/pack time come from the shipping point whereas the transit time and transportation lead time
come from the route.
The system performs backward scheduling first to confirm the required quantity checking the material availability on the
material availability date. If the material availability date or the transportation planning date falls before the order date, the
system automatically carries out forward scheduling and will propose a future date. A delivery type can be customized to
carry out rescheduling if required during the delivery processing.
