SAP Transportation Management
SAP Product Manager TM
Overview TM and SAP TM
Transportation management systems (TMS) are the heart of any well-functioning supply chain. A TMS impacts
every part of the supply chain process, from procurement and planning to logistics and lifecycle management.
So it only makes sense that organizations which are able to harness a TMS experience have more efficient
planning, execution, and higher customer satisfaction than their competitors. And SAP Transportation
Management (TM) is one of the most advanced transportation management solutions on the market.
This article will navigate you through the features, benefits, and integration capabilities of the SAP
Transportation Management system.
What is TMS in SAP?
The optimization of physical good transport and management of the logistics that come along with it are
made possible with transportation management systems. Acting as part of the overall supply chain
management system, a TMS will help automate tedious manual tasks, maximize the productivity of freight
loading, track freight across all routes, and ensure a timely and efficient delivery of goods. This saves
suppliers, businesses, and end-use customers valuable time and money.
SAP Transportation Management in particular helps organizations manage the entire transportation process,
including planning and optimizing, forecasting, freight tendering, and charge management—all in real time.
The solution covers all modes of transport (air, ocean, rail, and road) and is designed for shippers and
logistics service providers. Making it even more flexible, your SAP TMS system can be deployed onpremise or in the cloud.

Transportation Management in Supply Chain Management
Introduction to Outbound Transportation Management
Transportation Management in SAP S/4HANA enables users to plan and manage all outbound and inbound
transportation on a single platform.
The image below outlines an Order to Cash scenario. Order to Cash depicts the integrated end-to-end activities
from when an inquiry is placed by a customer for goods, to the delivery of these goods, and finally ending with the
receipt of payment from the customer.
Transportation Management is involved in the Shipping phase of the Order to Cash scenario, specifically in
planning and executing the delivery of these goods, as highlighted below:

Outbound Road Transportation
This lesson explains how to perform Transportation Management activities for the
various Outbound Road Transportation scenarios.
Outbound Road Transportation Management Scenarios (1/2)
There are typical business scenarios where the standard Outbound Road Transportation Management process is
adopted. Freight Orders for these scenarios are created to only reflect a single stage.
1
Outbound Road Transportation (Customer Sales)
Plant
•
Customer
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order where goods are directly shipped from an Plant to the customer. Its process steps
are as per the standard Transportation Management process.
Note: This process would also be applicable to variations of this Customer Sales process such as Customer Consignment Fill-Up, Customer
Consignment Pick-up, and Third-party Sales, where standard single stage Freight Orders are created.
2
Outbound Road Transportation (Inter or Intra-company or Storage Location Stock Transfer)
Plant/Storage Location
•
Plant from a Different or Same Legal Entity/Storage Location
This scenario is triggered by Stock Transport Orders and follows the standard Transportation Management process.
25
Outbound Road Transportation Management Scenarios (2/2)
The following explains the Conjunctive Shipment scenario which is applicable to Spindletop in the North American
region.
3
Outbound Road Transportation (Conjunctive Shipment)
Plant
Plant 2
Customer
•
Also known as multi-point pick-up, goods from different plants which are meant for the same customer are picked-up along the
way and consolidated in the same shipment.
•
This scenario is triggered when a Sales Order is created with the Conjunctive Shipment-specific Shipping Condition. This
creates separate Outbound Deliveries, where separate Freight Units are also created as follows:
•
Freight Unit for Stage 1: Plant 1 to Customer.
•
Freight Unit for Stage 2: Plant 2 to Customer.
•
The Freight Order will then be built with two stages where each Freight Unit will be assigned to each stage.
•
Once the Freight Order is sent to the assigned carrier and the Freight Order status is set to ‘Ready for Transportation
Execution’, the Haulier booking form will also be automatically triggered.
To learn how to execute Transportation Management activities for the Conjunctive Shipment scenario, refer to the Outbound Road Transportation
(Conjunctive Shipment) quick reference guide.
26
Outbound Rail Transportation
This lesson explains how to perform Transportation Management activities for the
various Outbound Rail Transportation scenarios.
Outbound Rail Transportation Management Scenarios (1/2)
The following scenario depicts a standard Outbound Rail Transportation Management scenario.
1
Outbound Rail Transportation (Customer Sales)
Plant
Customer
•
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order where goods are directly shipped from an Plant to the customer. In this scenario,
the Rail Yard is also usually near to the Plant as well as the customer’s location.
•
As these goods are meant for multiple deliveries, they will be delivered in multiple Railcars belonging to a single Rail carrier in
a single stage. As such, multiple Outbound Deliveries and Freight Units will be generated.
•
A single-stage Freight Order will be created to represent this single-stage Rail delivery.
•
The multiple Freight Units will then be assigned to this Freight Order.
28
Outbound Rail Transportation Management Scenarios (2/2)
Rule 11 scenario is unique to entities in United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. It is used to accommodate
carrier assignment across multiple stages.
2
Outbound Rail Transportation (Rule 11)
Carrier 1
Plant
Carrier 2
Rail Junction
Customer
•
This scenario is applicable when there are different carriers servicing the different stages. These carriers would need to be
invoiced separately based on their respective Freight Agreements and rates.
•
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order which is created with the Rule 11-specific Shipping Condition, which is ZA, and an
Outbound Delivery.
•
A Rail Freight Unit is then generated with multiple stages. Based on this, separate Rail Freight Orders are created for each
stage.
To learn how to execute Transportation Management activities for the Rule 11 scenario, refer to the Outbound Rail Transportation (Rule 11) quick
reference guide.
29
Inter-modal Land Scenario
The following is another scenario which has a combination of Outbound Road and Rail Transportations in different
variations.
3
Outbound Rail Transportation (Inter-modal Land)
Plant
Origin Rail Terminal
Destination Rail Terminal
Customer
•
This scenario is applicable when there are no nearby Rail Yards to the Plant and large loading equipment such as cranes are
required.
•
It can be managed by one freight forwarder who manages the entire delivery, including customs clearance.
•
There are three stages in this scenario as follows:
Pre-carriage: Goods are transported from an Plant to the Origin Rail Terminal via Road. A Freight Order will be created,
similar with the Outbound Road Transportation Management (Customer Sales) scenario.
•
Main Carriage: Goods are then transported from the Original Rail Terminal to the Destination Rail terminal via Rail. A
Rail Freight Order will be created here.
•
On-carriage: This describes the transportation of goods from the Destination Rail terminal to the Customer. A separate
Freight Order will not need to be created here as a single carrier is handling the entire delivery.
Stock Transport Orders will only be required if any intermediate point such as Origin or Destination Rail Terminal is created as a Pant).
• Note:
Stage
1: Goods transportation is triggered by a Stock Transport Order. These steps are similar with the Outbound Road
However, if the freight is transported directly to the customer, a Sales Order is sufficient for all three stages.
Transportation (Inter or Intra-company Stock Transfer) scenario.

Outbound Sea Transportation Management Scenarios (1/2)
The following scenario depicts a standard Outbound Sea Transportation Management scenario.
1
Outbound Sea Transportation (Customer Sales, Single Carrier, Port Treated as Transportation Management Location)
Plant
•
Port of Loading
Port of Discharge
Customer
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order and it has three stages:
•
Pre-carriage: Goods are transported from an Plant to the Port of Loading via Road. A Freight Order will be created,
similar with the Outbound Road Transportation Management (Customer Sales) scenario.
•
Main Carriage: Goods are then transported from the Port of Loading to the Port of Discharge via Sea. A Freight Booking
will be created here. It will be updated with booking details such as Date of Sailing and Booking Reference Number upon
carrier confirmation.
•
On-carriage: This describes the transportation of goods from the Port of Discharge to the Customer. A separate Freight
Order will not need to be created here as a single carrier is handling the entire delivery.
Note: Separate Road Freight Orders for the Pre and On-carriage stages, and a Freight Booking will be created for the Main Carriage
stage, for deliveries that are handled by multiple carriers.
34
Outbound Sea Transportation Management Scenarios (2/2)
Besides Customer Sales, there are also the Stock Transfer scenarios in which delivery can be handled by a single carrier,
or multiple carriers across the stages.
2
Outbound Sea Transportation (Stock Transfer, Different Carriers for All Stages, Port Treated as Plant)
Plant
•
Port of Loading
Port of Discharge
Plant
This scenario is triggered by an Intra-company Stock Transport Order, and its three stages are as follows:
•
Pre-carriage: This is triggered by an Intra-company Stock Transport Order as the Port is treated as a Plant. A Freight
Order will then be created for this stage. This stage also includes Transportation Execution activities such as Pick, Pack,
and Post Goods Issue and changing of the Freight Order status accordingly.
•
Main Carriage: Goods are transported from Port of Loading to Port of Destination. A Freight Booking will be created
here.
•
On-carriage: A separate Freight Order will be created here as this stage is handled by a different carrier.
Note: For a Stock Transfer scenario where there is only a single carrier handling the delivery to an plant, only a Road Freight Order
and Sea Freight Booking will be created.
35
Inland Barge Transportation Management Scenarios
Inland Barge utilizes inland waterways such as rivers and canals to transport goods and more commonly used in Europe.
1
Outbound Inland Barge Transportation (Customer Sales)
Plant
•
2
Customer
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order where goods are shipped from an Plant to a customer via Inland Barge. Its process steps
are similar with the Outbound Sea Transportation Management (Customer Sales) scenario where only a Freight Order and Freight
Booking will be created as the entire delivery is handled by one carrier.
Inbound Inland Barge Transportation (Purchase Order)
Plant
•
Customer
This scenario is triggered by a Purchase Order where goods are shipped from a Customer to an Plant via Inland Barge. This
delivery will be coordinated by IVL, where only a Freight Booking will be created.
36

39
Outbound Air Transportation Management Scenarios
The following scenario depicts a standard Outbound Air Transportation Management scenario. Similar with Outbound
Sea Transportation scenarios, it also consists of three stages.
1
Outbound Air Transportation (Customer Sales, Different Carriers for All Stages)
Plant
Departure Airport
Destination Airport
Customer
•
This scenario is triggered by a Sales Order where goods are required to be shipped from an Plant to a customer via Air. The
Airports are also treated as a Transportation Management Location, not as a Plant.
•
Its stages are similar with the standard Outbound Sea Transportation Management process which are Pre-carriage, Main
Carriage, and On-carriage.
•
Separate Road Freight Orders for the Pre and On-carriage stages, and a Freight Booking will be created for the Main Carriage
stage as the delivery is handled by multiple carriers.
Note: Another scenario variation is the Outbound Air Transportation for Stock Transfers. Although this scenario is triggered by a
Stock Transport Order, its steps are similar with the Outbound Air Transportation for Customer Sales.
40
Transportation Management for Inbound
Transportation
This lesson explains how to perform Transportation Management activities for
Inbound Transportation.
Inbound Transportation Management
Although an Inbound Road Transportation Management scenario is used as an example below, the activities performed
in this scenario are also applicable across other Modes of Transport.
1
Inbound Road Transportation (External Purchase, Port is treated as a Transportation Management Location)
Supplier
Port of Loading
Port of Destination
Plant
•
Stage 1 and 2 are arranged by the Supplier, whilst Stage 3 is arranged by IVL.
•
Stage 3 is triggered by a Purchase Order, from then which Inbound Delivery would be generated. This stage is represented by
a Road Freight Order.
Note: These process steps are also applicable to the Inbound Road Transportation Returnable Packaging and Customer Returns scenarios.
However, as the freight is managed by IVL, these steps are triggered by Sales Orders and Outbound Deliveries.
Note: If the Port of Destination is treated as a Plant, Stage 3 will be triggered by a Stock Transport Order. This stage also includes Transportation Execution activities
such as Pick, Pack, and Post Goods Issue at the Port. An Inbound Delivery and Freight Order is then created after these activities.
42
Inbound Shipments With Odyssey Integrations
Let us now look at the detailed Transportation Management process between FiberVisions Products (US17) / FiberVisions
Manufacturing for Inbound shipments.
This process is triggered when FiberVisions entities create a purchase order/ inbound delivery and pay Odyssey to generate
required documentation and pay the third-party carrier for domestic trucks.
Let us view the detailed interface interaction between SAP S/4HANA and Odyssey for FiberVision entities.
