WHAT IS SAP TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT (TM)?
Table of Contents
With SAP Transportation Management (TM), shippers may manage their transport procedures in a stable order management environment thanks to a special integrated solution from SAP. SAP TM is a crucial tool for both shippers and third-party logistics providers to guarantee that shipments are scheduled, tracked, and performed effectively, as many businesses are opting to outsource their logistics operations.
For every need pertaining to shipping, including fleet management, business analytics, freight settlement, and transportation planning and collaboration, SAP TM offers a comprehensive solution. Any kind of transportation, from air to sea, can be accommodated by configuring the solution.
TM can immediately benefit from the data and structure of logistics documents (such purchase orders, delivery notes, and sales orders) in the SAP ERP system by interfacing with it.
Apart from its comprehensive feature set, SAP TM can be integrated with other programmes that are part of SAP’s Business Suite software. Customers utilising other Business Suite solutions can now conveniently get transportation information directly linked to orders thanks to this connectivity.
For instance, clients can use SAP TM to track the status of shipments in accordance with export laws by integrating with SAP Global Trade Services (GTS). Alternatively, customers can view real-time inventory information based on the status of shipments traveling through their supply chain by integrating with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
You can manage distribution, transportation, and resources all in one application with SAP TM. There are two primary components to the software:
Transportation Execution (TEX) and Planning & Optimization (TPO)
Relationship Between SAP TM and SAP EWM
Improving the efficiency of a supply chain is one of the main goals for most customers. The procurement phase is the time the product is delivered after the order is placed. SAP Transportation Management and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) are both modules of the SAP S/4HANA suite. This time indicates the stage at which the ordered product is supplied. SAP TM helps reduce freight costs by optimizing resource capacity. SAP EWM helps improve warehouse efficiencies. For this reason, these two modules are modules that support each other in a supply chain process. SAP offers direct integration between SAP TM and SAP EWM. Thus, businesses can achieve end-to-end efficiency in their supply chain processes by using two solutions.
Integration Scenarios Between SAP EWM and SAP TM
The following scenarios are supported by the integration of SAP Transportation Management and SAP Extended Warehouse Management:
* Inbound delivery for sales orders (stock transfer order)
* Inbound delivery for goods receipts (stock transfer order)
* Outbound delivery for sales orders (stock transfer order)
* Outbound delivery for goods issue (stock transfer order)
