2. You assign additional BP roles to the BP. SAP TM delivers the following BP roles
for BPs of the type Organization:

○ Carrier
You use this BP role to identify a BP who is a carrier. You can also define business
partners with the Carrier role further by assigning one of the following categories:
○ Subsidiary
○ Carrier
○ Agent
○ Non-vessel operating common carrier
In this BP role, you can also define the standard carrier alpha codes (SCACs) or
airline codes by which a business partner is represented. You can also define service
level codes that you want available when buying transportation services from the
carrier.
• Ship-To Party and Sold-To Party
• Vendor
• Organizational Unit: Business partners to which this BP role is assigned represent
an organizational unit of a company. For air cargo security, you can enter the
regulated agent code of the logistics service provider.
• Employee
• Internet User and Contact Person: To identify a BP who takes part in the tendering
process.
• Driver : who can be assigned to a freight order as a human resource.
Additional Texts
You can define additional texts for the business partner master and use them as printing
addresses or signatures on different documents ex: air waybills

cannot assign the business partner to a forwarding order

If a forwarding order document already exists in the system when you set the block,
you cannot create forwarding settlement documents. This applies to the following
blocks: ● Central billing block ● Central order block ● Central posting block
Definition of Carrier Service Codes

A carrier can offer services to shippers or logistics service providers (LSP). The shippers
or LSPs contact the carrier and obtain the list of services. Subsequently, the shippers or
LSPs manually enter these services in the master data of the system to use it in a freight
document with the carrier.

 Transportation Network
You use this component in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) to define the
following master data objects:
● Location
● Transportation Zone
● Transportation Lane
● Schedule
● Trade lanes
● Default routes
● Connections
● Business partner networks

Path Finder
This enables you to easily determine whether a connection exists between two locations
and, therefore, whether you have correctly configured your master data.
The result of the path finder is displayed on the geographical map.

Transportation zone
 Features
You can execute this function and check the result in either the transportation network cockpit or on the
transportation proposals user interface:

● Transportation Network Cockpit : When you open the context menu for a location in the transportation
network cockpit, you can choose: Find Connection To Location... and enter a destination in the dialog box
displayed. The system then calculates all of the available connections in the transportation network and
displays them on the map. The color of the connections indicates whether a valid transportation lane or
schedule exists.

● Transportation Proposals : when you call the user interface for transportation proposals, you can choose
the appropriate pushbutton to show or hide the available connections on the map. As in the transportation
network cockpit, the color of the connections indicates whether a valid transportation lane or schedule exists.

Explanation Tool : When you select one or more freight units, you can choose the Show Network Path
pushbutton to analyze the underlying transportation network that is taken into account when planning the
selected freight units.
 FREIGHT RATE

Freight rate is a price at which a certain cargo is delivered from one point to another.
The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport,(Truck, Train, Ship and
Aircraft),
Like -The Weight and volume of the Cargo,
The distance to the delivery destination,

HOW FREIGHT RATE DETERMINED:

The cost which a shipper( The consumer or business providing goods for shipping) or
Consignee (The person or company to whom commodities are shipped)
Freight rate determined by a number of factors
• Mode of transportation,
• Weight, size, distance
• Points of pickup and delivery,
 Transportation Location

A logical or physical place in which products or resources are managed on a quantity basis.
Use this business object as the basis for transportation processes.
In transportation processes, you name a source location, a destination location, and any
transshipment locations necessary to complete the transportation process. For this purpose,
you define locations.

To define a location, you have to specify its name and type. SAP Transportation
Management (SAP TM) provides standard location types such as the following:

● Production plant (1001) ● Distribution center (1002) ● Shipping point (1003)

● Customer (1010) ● Vendor (1011) ● Terminal (1030
● Port (1100) ● Airport (1110) ● Railway station (1120)
● Container freight station (1130) ● Hub (1140) ● Gateway (1150)
● Container yard (1160) ● Warehouse (1170) ● Carrier warehouse (1180)
 One-Time Location
The system creates one-time locations based on one-time address details that you can specify on the
user interface
A one-time location is specified by the name of the organization, its address data, its communication
data, or a combination of these.

can create a note for each one-time location. When you create a note, you can only define one note
per location and language

To find addresses for one-time locations using the input help (F4), complete the Customizing
activities for
SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > Basis Services > Address Management > Regional
Structure/City File .

In Customizing, you can activate an address search that determines whether one-time locations match
locations that already exist
Basic Functions General Settings Define General Settings for SAP TM .
 Transshipment Location

A location that is used for unloading goods from one vehicle resource and loading it onto
another vehicle resource during the transportation process.

You use transshipment locations when different means of transport or different carriers have
to be used in the transportation process. You can also use transshipment locations when
consolidating or de-consolidating goods to be transported.

Structure

A transshipment location is defined by assigning a location to either another location or to

a transportation zone.
When you assign a transshipment location to a transportation zone, it can be used as a
transshipment location by all locations that are part of that transportation zone.

You cannot define a transshipment location by assigning a location to itself.

If you define a transshipment location and want to use it in your transportation processes,
you must define transportation lanes that take the transshipment location into account.

Example :You want to transport goods from location A to location C. You have to unload
some goods in location B and change your means of transport. Location B is therefore a
transshipment location. For this transportation process to take place, you have to define the
following: 1. A transshipment location B
2. A transportation lane from A to B and a transportation lane from B to C

• Actual goods being shipped.

All of these factors play their own independent role in determining the price or rate at which
the freight will be transported but they are also all interconnected.

When determining which mode of transportation will be used to deliver the freight to its
destination there are many things which need to be taken into consideration which will all
have an effect on the freight rate.
Federal, State, and Local authorities 
all have their own laws and regulations with regards to the size, weight, and type of freight
which can be transported on their roads.

Transportation of freight by Rail, Water, or air craft all have their own regulations which take
into account
Federal,
State, and Local regulations as well as safety concerns which contribute to the rate at which
freight is transported.
 Transportation Zone

Groups a number of locations. Into transportation zone.

The system can partly transfer the properties that you assign to a transportation zone to all
its locations.

Ex: A number of locations are supplied by the same warehouse. You group these in a
transportation zone.

 (A zonewhere the ship-to party is located and that is used by the system as a factor for
determining the route.)

define a transportation zone in SAP NetWeaver Business Client --Master Data

Transportation Network --Define Transportation Zone .
 
Structure
To define a transportation zone, you specify its name and type.
In SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), the following types of transportation
zones exist:

• Direct zone
• Postal code zone
• Region zone
• Mixed zone
A mixed zone is a combination of any of the other zone types.

Direct zone : To define a direct zone, you create entries on the tab page. You assign
locations to the transportation zone directly by entering the name of each location.
Zone – Postal Code: this is valid for a particular country.

Zone – Region: create entries on the tab page. You assign locations to the transportation
zone by specifying a country and a region. If you only enter a country, the system
automatically chooses all regions of this country.
Process
1. SAP NetWeaver Business Client >Master Data >Transportation Network> Define Transportation Zone .
2. You create a transportation zone by entering its name and a description for the zone.
3. Depending on the type of transportation zone, you assign or exclude locations by creating entries on one of
the following tab pages:
○ Zone – Location To define a direct zone, you create entries on this tab page. You assign locations to the
transportation zone directly by entering the name of each location. You exclude locations by selecting the
Exclude checkbox.

○ Zone – Postal Code To define a postal code zone, you create entries on this tab page. You assign locations to
the transportation zone by specifying a postal code range that is valid for a particular country.

○ Zone – Region To define a region zone, you create entries on this tab page. You assign locations to the
transportation zone by specifying a country and a region. If you only enter a country, the system automatically
chooses all regions of this country.
Calculation of Geographical Data for a Transportation Zone

The calculation is based on the geographical data of all locations that are part of the
transportation zone. The system calculates the following geographical data:
Latitude
Longitude
Time zone
Precision (continent, country, region, and postal code)

you have entered the address data of all locations. The system calculates the geographical
data for the location on the basis of the address data.

 Process
• Define a transportation lane on the launchpad by opening the Define Transportation
Lane app.
• You create a transportation lane by entering information on either of the following tab page
pages:

Tr.Lane
You create the transportation lane by entering or choosing the source location or zone and the
destination location or zone.

Intra-Zone Lane/Loc. Transp. Lane

Use this tab page to define an intrazone lane or a location transportation lane.
Create an intrazone lane by entering or choosing a transportation zone.
Create a location transportation lane by entering or choosing a location.
Mass Maint. (Create)
You create multiple transportation lanes by copying an existing transportation lane.
• You assign a means of transport to the transportation lane.
Means of transport are used to move goods between the locations or zones of a transportation
lane. You specify attributes for the means of transport that apply to transportation activities
between the source and destination of the goods to be transported, such as the transportation
duration, the transportation distance, and the transportation costs.

• You have the option of assigning carriers to the transportation lane.

A carrier offers services along a transportation lane for a specific means of transport. You,
therefore, assign carriers to the transportation lane by assigning them to the means of
transport. Once you have assigned a carrier to the means of transport, you can specify the
attributes that are specific to this combination of carrier and MTr. For example, the
transportation costs, the priority, the share of business, or the capacity for the transportation
allocation.

A relationship between two locations for a particular product
A relationship between two locations for a Means of Transport (MOT)
A relationship between two locations for a Transportation Service Provider

Transportation lanes connect locations, but transportation lanes do not connect all location types.
For instance, shipping points and MRP areas are within locations connected to other locations by
transportation lanes.
Conversely, some locations that are not real physical locations are connected to other locations
with transportation lanes.
There are five different ways to created Transportation Lanes.

1.Using the transportation lane maintenance screen

2.Using SCE
3.Transportation lane mass maintenance
4.Transferring Purchasing Info Records (our preferred way for the sake of simplicity, of
course, this will not do when we need transportation lanes between internal plants/locations
for transfer orders.)
5.Transferring the special procurement key

What Types of Data are Part of Transportation Lanes

Transportation Lanes allows you to define the product procurement parameters like lot sizes,
cost functions, unit costs, and lane priorities. To define each lane’s transportation methods and
related parameters like transport costs, distances, and times. Assign product-specific transport
methods, assign carriers to the lanes. You can use transport bucket resources to model the
capacity of transport fleets to avoid overloading them.
The Transportation Lane Hierarchy
In SAP SNP, transportation lanes have a hierarchy to them. The hierarchy is the following:
1.Product Specific Transportation Lane
2.Means of Transport
3.TSP for Means of Transport
 Distance and Duration Determination (DDD)

Transportation Management (TM) to determine the distance of a transportation lane and the

duration it takes the means of transport to travel that distance.

for example, determines the most suitable means of transport for the transportation processes
on the basis of the distance and duration.

To determine the distance and duration between two locations in a business document of the
freight order management area.
Activities

In TM, you can implement a business add-in (BAdI) for distance and duration determination
that can manipulate the calculated values for the distance and duration. For more information,

 Schedule

You use this function to define a sequence of stops such as ports, airports, or gateways that is
valid for a specific period of time. Ships, trucks, or airplanes can move goods at recurring
times along the whole sequence or any part of it. The movement of goods depends on the
transportation duration between each of the stops as well as the cut-off times and the length of
stay at each stop.

Features

There are up to three categories of schedules for each mode of transport available to you in
SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM).

Direct and indirect gateway schedules

Gateway schedules with reference
Carrier schedules
This function is based on the transportation mode and is available for the sea and air
modes only.

Carrier Schedules: The system calculates the arrival and departure dates and times at each
stop in the sequence, taking into account the transit duration, cut-off times, and
availability of the goods for each stop.

We Can use transaction WUF to display the documents that refer to a specific schedule.
This function is available for the following document types:
● Schedules
● Freight bookings
● Freight orders
● Schedule-based allocations

•Road schedule: 1200
•Sailing schedule: 2000
•Sailing schedule with reference to ocean carrier schedules: 2100
•Road gateway schedule: 2200
•Master flight schedule: 2500
•Master flight schedule with reference to carrier flight schedules: 2600
Transportation Costs
You can define transportation costs in your schedules based on the quantity of goods that are to be
transported. These costs are then used by the optimizer to calculate the most cost-effective route; they do not
represent actual costs.
can also define transportation costs based on other criteria such as distance or duration in the planning
profile.

Features:
You can calculate transportation costs in gateway schedules and carrier schedules based on the costs per
quantity.
Gateway Schedules : When you enter quantity costs in a gateway schedule such as a sailing schedule or an
LCL overland schedule, the optimizer calculates the transportation costs by multiplying the costs per
quantity by the actual quantity to be transported. The system only considers the stage between the port of
loading and the port of discharge.
Ex: If you enter a quantity cost of 200 per ton and want to calculate the cost of transporting 1.5 tons, the
system multiplies 200 x 1.5 and returns a transportation cost of 300.
Carrier Schedules: When you enter quantity costs in a carrier schedule such as an ocean carrier schedule,
the optimizer calculates the transportation costs based on the number of stages. It therefore multiplies the
costs per quantity by the actual quantity to be transported, and then multiplies the result by the number of
stages over which goods are transported.
Ex: If you enter a quantity cost of 200 per ton and want to calculate the cost of transporting 1.5 tons over 5

Vehicle Resources

You can use resource classes to specify the kind of vehicle that is to be used for your
transportation activities. When you enter the means of transport in the resource master data,
the system automatically determines the resource class based on the means of transport.
If you do not assign a resource class to the means of transport, the system determines the
resource class based on the transportation mode and whether the vehicle resource is passive.

Structure

● Passive means of transport :

In Customizing, you can define vehicle resources that cannot move by themselves, by
selecting the Passive Means of Transport checkbox for the means of transport assigned to the
vehicle resource.
● Vehicle combination :
You can combine means of transport to create vehicle combinations.
● Compartment :
You can divide the loading space of a vehicle resource into compartments.
● Capacity
● Availability
Minimum number of seals :
You can specify the minimum number of seals of the vehicle resource. You can use this
information for the definition of incompatibilities.
● Resource template
● Physical properties
● Downtimes
● Qualifications
● Attached equipment
● Grouping attributes
● Alternative names
Integration
To define vehicle resources, you must have defined means of transport.

Means of Transport
Means of transport are groups of vehicle resources, for example, container ships or cargo
ships. You assign a means of transport to each vehicle resource
 Charge Management and Service Product Catalogs
Charge Management and Service Product Catalogs to set up the master data that the system
uses to calculate transportation charges, such as revenues, costs, and profits. Once the system
calculates the charges, you can trigger invoice creation and verification.
You can also include service products in forwarding agreements or service product catalogs.
This enables you to specify services, such as fumigation of a container and cargo insurance in
a forwarding order.

Charge Management and Service Product Catalogs is integrated with the Agreement
Management component because SAP TM also calculates transportation charges on the basis
of the data stored in agreements.

The system calculates transportation charges based on agreements (see Agreement [page 937])
and the following master data
○ Calculation Sheet
○ Rate Table
○ Scale
When resolving the calculation sheet, the system also takes into account the following:
○ Relevant rates
○ Additional charges
○ Other surcharges
○ Discounts for the selling (debit) as well as the buying (credit) side for all transportation
modes such as trucking (land transport), rail, sea, air, and inland vessel cargo.

Once you create the agreement, from one consolidated user interface you can create the
calculation sheet, rate table, and scale .

○ Weight charges
○ Other charges
○ Commission
○ Additional charges
○ Valuation charges
○ IATA other charge code
○ Transportation mode category of Air
○ IATA charge due of Due Agent or Due Carrier
 Service Product Catalogs

you can create services in the system for each of cleaning, fumigation, refrigeration, and
cargo insurance. You can create one service product for cleaning and fumigation, another for
refrigeration, and another for cargo insurance

We can edit and delete the service product information in the following business documents:
● Service product catalog : we can add services to a service product
● Forwarding agreement : add services to an item
● Forwarding order : The system inserts the service product as an item in the agreement.
 Calculation Sheet
The system uses calculation sheets to specify which transportation charges to calculate and
how to calculate them. This helps to bill customers for transportation services and to pay
suppliers or carriers for subcontracted transportation services. Calculation sheets contain
line items and each line item can result in a calculated amount.

Transportation Management under -- Basic Functions -- Charge Calculation --Basic

Settings-- Templates -- Define Calculation Sheet Templates .

We can use the /SCMTMS/TCCS_MASS_UPDATE program to change the charge item

amount in one or more calculation sheets at the same time.

Charge Types
You can assign charge types to calculation sheet line items and to rate tables at header level
or item level. Note that the system assigns rate tables to a line item in a calculation sheet
only if the charge types match.
Transportation Management under -- Basic Functions --Charge Calculation-- Basic
Settings-- Define Charge Types .
Rate Table

A rate table is a grouping of prices for transportation services. The prices (or rates) are
listed by validity period in the rate table.
You can maintain up to 14 dimensions in a rate table.
You can define the scales and validities of the rate table. Once you define the rate table,
you can maintain the rate values in the rate table.

You can define a rate table manually or automatically by using a rate table template with
predefined scales and validity dates.

Rate categories:
○ Unit load device (ULD)
○ Specific commodity rate (SCR)
○ General cargo rate (GCR)
Scale
A scale is a dimension of a rate. A scale is used to define a parameter that then defines a rate.
For example, if a rate depends upon distance and weight, you must define a separate scale for
distance and for weight. The distance and weight scales are then used to define the rate

you can configure the items of a scale according to one of the following:
● Quantities
● Volumes
● Weights
● Distances
● Points
