In this process, you plan the transportation in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) on
the basis of sales orders created in SAP ERP. SAP TM proposes and creates deliveries
based on dates and quantities according to transportation planning results, taking into
account transportation constraints such as resource availability and transportation durations.
SAP TM sends delivery proposals to SAP ERP, which creates the deliveries and forwards
them to SAP TM and to SAP EWM for further processing. The SAP TM system creates a
freight order in SAP TM. Based on this freight order, the SAP EWM system creates a
transportation unit (TU) in SAP EWM.
In the warehouse, you use waves to pick the goods directly into shipping handling units
(HUs), usually pallets. You then stage the shipping HUs and load them into a truck before
posting the goods issue (GI). The SAP ERP system updates the deliveries in SAP ERP for a
later billing. The SAP TM system updates the freight order in SAP TM for a later freight cost
settlement.
Prerequisites
See Configuration of Direct Integration of Outbound Warehousing and Transportation
Processes [Page 21].
Process
This business process runs in SAP EWM in the following stages:
1. Transportation Planning
2. Warehouse Execution
Transportation Planning
A customer orders goods, and a sales clerk creates sales orders with a planned
delivery date in SAP ERP.
During this step you can schedule the SAP ERP sales orders synchronously
in SAP TM. For more information, see SAP Library for Transportation
Management on SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com/transportationmanagement SAP Transportation
Management 9.1 Application Help <choose your language> SAP
Transportation Management ERP Logistics Integration Scheduling of
SAP ERP Sales Orders in SAP TM .
The SAP ERP system automatically transfers the sales orders to SAP TM. The SAP
TM system captures the orders as order-based transportation requirements (OTRs).
SAP TM creates freight units based on the OTRs. The transportation planner uses
the freight units to carry out transportation planning and optimization in SAP TM.
The transportation planner carries out the transportation planning for the freight units,
which results in the creation of a freight order. The planning results in SAP TM form
the basis of delivery creation in SAP ERP.
The transportation planner communicates with a carrier. He or she assigns the carrier
to the freight order in the SAP TM system, and communicates the freight order
number to the carrier.
During this step, you can use the freight tendering component in SAP TM.
For more information about Freight Tendering, see SAP Library for
Transportation Management on SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com/transportationmanagement SAP Transportation
Management 9.1 Application Help <choose your language> SAP
Transportation Management Freight Order Management Freight
Tendering .
This step can either be carried out manually by the transportation planner or can be
run automatically as a background job.
The transportation planner creates delivery proposals in SAP TM and sends the
proposals to SAP ERP. The SAP ERP system creates the deliveries. The delivery
proposals are based on the results of transportation planning, such as consolidation
and dates, taking into account transportation planning-relevant information, such as
resource availability and transportation durations.
When SAP TM transfers the delivery proposals to SAP ERP, SAP ERP automatically
creates outbound deliveries with the delivery date determined by SAP TM. SAP ERP
then automatically sends the deliveries to SAP TM and SAP EWM for further
processing.
If the availability of the goods is not given in the delivery proposals due to an
exceptional situation, for example, an emergency order or inventory
differences, SAP ERP rejects the delivery proposals from SAP TM. You must
then replan the delivery proposals in SAP TM.
When SAP ERP transfers the deliveries to SAP TM, SAP TM automatically creates
delivery-based transportation requirements (DTRs) for the deliveries. The DTRs
consume the OTRs created in step 2.
7. Create outbound delivery requests and outbound delivery orders (SAP EWM)
When SAP ERP transfers the deliveries to SAP EWM, SAP EWM automatically
creates outbound delivery requests and outbound delivery orders (ODOs) for the
deliveries.
The ODOs are the basis for the warehouse activities in SAP EWM.
The transportation planner finalizes the transportation planning in the freight order.
SAP TM automatically sends the freight order information to SAP EWM for further
processing.
When SAP TM transfers the freight order information to SAP EWM, SAP EWM
automatically creates a TU and assigns the ODOs or ODO items to it.
Warehouse Execution
Using the shipping cockpit, the shipping office clerk assigns a door to the TU, taking
into account the free capacity of the doors at the planned time.
The shipping office clerk creates a wave for all ODOs assigned to the TU, or SAP
EWM carries out this step automatically when the ODOs are created. The wave
assignment is based on the shipping information.
When the wave is released, the system creates warehouse tasks (WTs). The system
gathers the WTs into warehouse orders (WOs) to optimize the picking. The WOs are
used to manage picking the goods and moving them to the staging area. The system
assigns the WOs to different queues according to specific criteria, such as the activity
area and the type of resource necessary to access the storage bins. Within one WO,
the system sorts the WTs according to specific criteria, such as the pick path.
If the system cannot create WTs for some of the wave items, for example, due to
insufficient stock, a warehouse clerk checks the log for the wave release and the
stock for the given outbound delivery order item. If necessary, he or she triggers a
pick denial or replenishment. Once sufficient stock is available, the warehouse clerk
releases the wave manually.
A warehouse worker picks the goods and brings them to the staging area. This step
is carried out using a radio frequency (RF) device.
The warehouse worker goes to the starting point for picking, and chooses the
equipment necessary for the picking, for example, a vehicle (such as a forklift truck)
and an RF device. The warehouse worker logs on to the system as a resource. The
warehouse worker puts a pick-HU onto the vehicle. He or she receives the first WO of
the queue he or she is assigned to on the RF device. He or she creates the pick-HU
in the system for this WO. The system automatically prints the HU label on the printer
situated next to where the empty pallets are stored. The HU label contains the HU
number as plaintext and as a barcode. The warehouse worker attaches the HU label
to the vehicle.
The warehouse worker drives to the first source bin of the first WT displayed on the
RF device, picks the required quantity of the product, and puts the product into the
pick-HU proposed by the system. To verify that the WT is carried out correctly, he or
she scans data such as source bin, product, and pick-HU, and enters the quantity.
After all fields have been verified, the WT is confirmed, and the warehouse worker
proceeds to the next WT.
After the last WT of the WO is confirmed, the warehouse worker brings the pick-HU to
the staging area. On the way to the staging area, the pallet load can be shrink
wrapped, but this step is not reflected in the system. The warehouse worker drops the
pick-HU at the staging area and scans the staging bin to confirm this step in the
system. The system automatically prints a shipping HU label on the printer situated
near the staging area. The warehouse worker attaches this label to the HU.
4. A truck arrives at the checkpoint and drives to the door (SAP EWM)
When the truck arrives, the shipping office clerk chooses the TU with the external
identifier, usually the freight order number, given by the carrier. If the door assigned
to the TU is not free yet, the truck must wait, or the shipping office clerk assigns
another door near the staging area to the TU. Once the door is free, the shipping
office clerk advises the truck driver to drive to the assigned door, and confirms the
arrival of the truck at the door.
A warehouse worker begins to load the truck from the staging area. This step is
carried out using an RF device.
The warehouse worker chooses the equipment necessary for the loading, for
example, a vehicle (such as a forklift truck) and an RF device, and logs on as a
resource. He or she scans the door bin to start the loading of the TU in the system.
He or she then picks a shipping HU from the staging area and scans its ID. He loads
the shipping HU onto the truck and scans the door bin again. The system
automatically creates a WT for loading the TU assigned to this door and confirms it in
the same step. The warehouse worker proceeds with the next shipping HU until the
staging area is empty. After he or she has confirmed the loading of the last HU, the
warehouse worker confirms the completion of the loading for the TU. He or she then
goes to the shipping office.
If a shipping HU cannot be loaded onto the truck, for example, because it has not
been staged in time, the system does not prompt the warehouse worker to confirm
the loading completion.
6. Close the TU, post the goods issue, and print the delivery notes and waybill (SAP
EWM)
The shipping office clerk checks that all delivery items have been loaded onto the
truck. He or she closes the TU. If a shipping HU is missing, the delivery item is
automatically removed from the TU in the system before posting the GI. SAP TM
takes this delivery item into account in the next transportation planning, or the
shipping office clerk can assign it to another TU in SAP EWM manually.
The shipping office clerk posts the GI for the TU. The system prints the delivery note
for each delivery, and prints the road waybill for the TU. At the same time, the system
automatically communicates the GI to SAP ERP. The shipping office clerk hands the
delivery notes and waybill copies, usually one copy for the carrier and one copy for
the consignee, to the truck driver.
When SAP EWM posts GI, SAP ERP updates the delivery data and sets the goods
movement status to Completed. The billing can begin and an advanced shipping
notification (ASN) can be sent to the customer.
When SAP ERP completes the outbound delivery, SAP TM completes the DTRs.
The shipping office clerk confirms the departure of the truck from the checkpoint, and
therefore from the door. This step is necessary to free the door for the next truck.
For large yards, the checkpoint clerk can confirm the departure from the
checkpoint separately.
When SAP EWM posts the departure from checkpoint, SAP TM updates the
execution status of the freight order. The system removes DTRs that could not be
loaded by the warehouse from the freight order. You can replan these DTRs in SAP
TM.
The carrier communicates with the transportation planner to confirm the arrival at the
truck at the customer site.
The transportation planner confirms the execution of the freight order in the system.

During the picking and staging step in the warehouse, or at the end of the step, the carrier
calls the shipping office clerk to cancel the appointment. The shipping office clerk removes
the outbound delivery orders from the transportation unit (TU) appointments and deletes the
TU appointment. In the warehouse, the picking and staging can be completed, but the
shipping handling units (HUs) stay in the staging area, or are moved to a nearby area, and
are ready for loading.
The SAP EWM system forwards the TU cancellation to SAP TM, where the system updates
the corresponding freight order. The freight order is reopened for new transportation planning
and execution, as described in the process Managing Order-Based Outbound Processes
(TM-EWM) [Page 6].
