SAP ECC Logistics and TM integration


ERP logistics Integration
SAP ERP  integrated  with TM to facilitate Planning and execution  of Sales orders and Deliveries. Sales orders and Deliveries are represented as Transportation requirements in SAP TM. ERP integration enables us to
-           Collectively plan transportation for all orders, and across order types
-          Perform transportation Planning in SAP TM based on SAP ERP Orders, prior to delivery creation, thus enabling us to get an earlier forecast of future transportation and resource demands
-          Performing tendering, subcontracting, and execution in Sap TM base don ERP orders
-          Propose and create deliveries based on dates and quantities according to transportation planning results, taking into account transportation constraints such as resource availability and transportation durations

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 orders in ERP are supported
-          Sales Orders
-          Customer returns
-          PO
-          STO
-          Return PO
-          Return STO

Delivery Proposals

             
              SAP TM can generate a proposal for a delivery to be created in ERP based on the Order-based Transportation Requirement.  Details on Creation of ERP deliveries from SAP TM.

Delivery Integration


              Outbound deliveries and Inbound deliveries that are created in SAP ERP can be transferred to SAP TM where they are stored as delivery-based transportation requirements. Deliveries can be transferred to SAP TM regardless of whether the delivery creation was triggered by SAP TM or not. Deliveries can also be transferred to SAP TM even if an order that related to the delivery has not been sent to SAP TM.

Order Scheduling

             
              While creating Sales orders in SAP ERP, transportation scheduling can be done synchronously in SAP TM.  More details can be found in SCHEDULING OF SAP ERP SALES ORDERS IN SAP TM.

SAP ERP Shipment Integration


              Outbound integration of ERP shipments enables us to carryout transportation execution in SAP ERP for freight orders or freight bookings  created in SAP TM.

 

SAP EWM integration


              SAP TM can be integrated with the SAP EWM via ERP. This enables us to integrate transportation Planning in SAP TM with delivery and shipment processing in SAP ERP and warehouse Planning and execution in SAP EWM
