Study Notes
Driver Management Settings
- Driver management settings are maintained in freight order customization
- Home location is a maintained setting
- Default truck handling is a maintained setting
- Default driver is a maintained setting
Driver Business Partner Attributes
- Validity period and fixed assignment to a vehicle resource define the driver business partner.
- Non-working times and absences are also attributes used to define the driver business partner.
- Planning profile is included as an additional attribute for the business partner.
SAP Transportation Management Documents
- Sales order and shipment are possible predecessor documents for a freight order.
- Freight unit and order-based transportation requirement are also possible predecessor documents.
SAP Transportation Management Business Documents
- In a buyer's consolidation scenario, the import organization is responsible for triggering the creation of import business documents in SAP Transportation Management.
Transportation Proposals Configuration
- In transportation proposals, carrier selection can be excluded and the result saved in the freight unit stages
- To achieve this define planning strategy VSR_DEF and Save route & freight documents in the optimizer settings
- Alternatively a planning strategy VSR_1STEP and Save route only can be used
Freight Unit Creation
- For two sales orders with the same delivery date, with no incompatibilities present, and automatic freight unit creation that consolidates as much as possible, a minimum of 1 freight unit will be generated.
Fuel Surcharge Calculation
- Fuel surcharge calculation in SAP TM can be defined by using calculation reference for the fuel surcharge charge item
- A rate table definition for fuel surcharge using a pricing date scale can be used.
Hazardous Product Transportation
- Based on company policy, hazardous product POISON should not be transported by truck unless authorized by user A. The system reaction is maintained by using automatic and manual violation options for incompatibility.
- For incompatibility, automatic violation "incompatibility must not be violated" and manual violation "warning if incompatibility is violated" are two ways to maintain the system reaction.
GIS Quality for Transportation
- Calculation of distances and duration of transportation for LORRY is implemented using geographical information systems (GIS).
- Transportation lanes durations and scheduling in freight order using LORRY are defined using scheduling constraints and transportation lanes settings within apps and customizing tasks
Transportation Cockpit Features
- Cost determination, multiple screens, and Gantt charts are features of the transportation cockpit.
- Distance calculations are also features of the transportation cockpit.
Profitability Calculation
- Profitability can be calculated from forwarding orders.
- Profitability is also calculated from forwarding quotations, freight units, and freight orders
Carrier Selection Settings
- Edit Carrier Selection Settings and Define Transportation Lane are SAP Fiori apps where you define whether business shares are considered in the carrier selection process.
Forwarding Order Parameters
- Planning profile, dangerous goods profile, export forwarding order type, shipping type and bill of lading types are parameters that can be defined in the forwarding order type.
Trailer Hauling Scenario
- Freight bookings and Freight order type need to be customized to have a single trailer hauled by multiple trucks
Transportation Zone Hierarchy and Means of Transport
- Orientation: Along, From 4 to 2 and From 4 to 5 means of transport A, and orientation: Within From 1 to 1 means of transport: B are aspects of freight order allocation are consumed by a freight order with means of transport B from transportation zone 4 to transportation zone 5.
Load Planning
- Freight order, Freight booking, Vehicle resource, and Transportation Cockpit are functions available for load planning.
Stage Sequence Determination
- Shipping type and stage type are used to determine stage sequence in forwarding orders.
Schedule Departure Creation
- Upload via report, Maintenance in default route, Generation from rule, and Copy from a freight booking are ways to create schedule departure.
Optimizer Settings Strategies
- VSRI 1STEP, VSR_CHECK, VSS DEF, and VSR DEF are optimizer settings strategies.
Driver Assignment
- Freight order stage, Freight order header, and Vehicle resource are locations you can assign drivers in the transportation cockpit.
Trade Lane Attributes
- Transportation group and Transportation mode are attributes of trade lanes.
Incompatibility Types
- Freight unit – Freight booking, transportation request header – transportation request header, carrier – transportation order, vehicle resource - location(stay level) are all incompatibility types usable for Automatic and Manual Planning.
Event-Based Charge Calculation
- Calculation resolution base and a rate table definition are master data settings maintained for events that require event-based charge calculation.
Package Type Assignments
- Business partner is a criterion that can be used for package type assignment when using the Package Builder to estimate freight volume more accurately for capacity planning.
Packaging Units
- Packaging units cannot be assigned to transportation units, but they can have a packaging hierarchy.
- A packaging unit is needed for each stage and is made up of one or more packages transported together.
Location Deletion Failure
- Location deletion failure can be caused by messages remaining in the incoming queue, location storage in the distance duration buffer table, and active orders using the location.
Freight Procurement Process
- By defining target rates, Sending RFQs to new carriers first and defining a target share strategy are ways to distinguish between currently used and new carriers in freight procurement.
Rate Table Scales
- Three Scales are required to define the base freight calculation for an international outbound transportation scenario.
Business Object Tracking
- Forwarding orders are tracked and traced within SAP Transportation Management.
Package Building Profile Assignment
- Freight unit building rule defines the package building profile assignment.
Freight Order Control Settings and Objects
- Plant, delivery type, shipping point, and route are objects to which control keys are assigned in an embedded deployment scenario.
Freight Order Charge Calculation
- Base charge based on the distance and gross weight of the freight order, and a supplemental charge per container are defined charges for freight orders.
